About

A Violence Prevention Program for Middle Schools Synopsis

This book examines violence prevention programs for middle schools and their findings after implementation. The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools (OSDFS) administers a variety of state and national programs under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (SDFSCA) that are focused on efforts to develop and maintain safe, disciplined, and drug-free schools. Drug and violence prevention activities under these programs are carried out in elementary and secondary schools, as well as in institutions of higher education. While there is now a lengthy set of school-based drug prevention curricula that have been evaluated using rigorous designs, much less evidence is available concerning effective violence prevention strategies in school settings. The need for evidence-based prevention programs is particularly critical for middle schools, whose students experience the highest rate of school-based violence relative to students in other grades.
