Abstract: 

Public concern for school safety in the United States intensified following a series of high profile school shootings during the late 1990s. Between 1992 and 1999, the homicide rates for students killed in multiple-victim events increased, although the rate for single-victim student homicides decreased significantly (Anderson et.al, 2001). Since 1992, the total number of school-associated violent deaths has decreased. There is less than a one in a million chance of violent death in school; fewer than 1% of all juvenile homicides are associated with schools.
