Conclusion
On their own, schools can't hope to solve the complex problems associated with violence in America. However, there are many compelling reasons for educators to take the lead in violence prevention. Research shows that early prevention offers the best hope for breaking the cycle of violence. Schools provide a logical, accessible place where young people can learn the skills to solve problems without resorting to violence. The life skills that prevent violence also go hand-in-hand with academic achievement. Teaching and modeling these skills can make schools safer and more effective, benefiting students, teachers, families, and the larger community.
