Disasters can take many forms.
Schools should be a place where students, parents, and educators feel safe but in many places this is no longer the case. The reality is school violence can occur at anytime and anywhere. School violence crosses all socio- economic boundaries. Occurrences in schools include mass murders, suicides, rapes or other types of sexual battery, assaults, fights with a weapon and illegal drug sales. However, if we understand what leads to violence and learn effective ways to prevent it, we can make our schools safer.
