A thorough overview of violence and crime in America's schools explores which solutions work and which don't, providing a framework for prevention at every level.

Although it is major incidents like Columbine or Virginia Tech that grab the headlines, everyday occurrences of bullying, harassment, and physical intimidation in schools impact entire communities, driving kids out of public schools and destroying faith in public education. Preventing Violence and Crime in America's Schools: From Put-Downs to Lock-Downs provides educators, parents, law enforcement officials, and other youth-serving professionals with a unique perspective on the topic of school violence. More important, it offers solutions to the problems facing all schools when it comes to violence and safety.

Two expert authors examine specifics relating to school violence, opportunities to prevent and intervene, and the importance of planning for a crisis. Most other books about school violence either highlight the research or highlight practitioner viewpoints. This revealing book presents both, balancing insights gained through real-world experiences with research on best practices. The result is a fuller understanding of the problem--understanding that will enable solutions.

William L. Lassiter is the manager of the Center for the Prevention of School Violence at the North Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Raleigh, NC. He also serves on the state Advisory Board to the State Board of Education on School Safety, the Advisory Board for the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center, and the North Carolina attorney general's working group on bullying.

Danya C. Perry has served as an education consultant for the past ten years. Perry currently works for Communities In Schools (CIS) of North Carolina as a field services specialist.
