School Violence and Primary Prevention, 2nd Edition

Are you concerned about the safety of schools and the epidemic of violence that seems to be plaguing our educational institutions? If so, School Violence and Primary Prevention by Thomas W. Miller is a must-read book that will provide you with valuable insights into the incidence and characteristics of school-associated violence, as well as strategies for prevention and intervention.

In recent years, there have been numerous high-profile school shootings that have shocked the nation and raised public alarm. However, despite the media attention and public outcry, little is actually known about the true extent and nature of school violence. Miller’s book aims to address this knowledge gap and contribute to the understanding of violence in schools.

School Violence and Primary Prevention is the result of a special issue of the Journal of Primary Prevention, which Miller edited. The book covers a wide range of topics related to school violence, including clinical issues in treating victims, assessing children with the potential for violence, and the effectiveness of prevention intervention programs. Miller also examines environmental factors such as cultural issues and their impact on behaviors, from bullying to mass school shootings.

What sets this book apart is its unique exploration of topics such as sexual boundaries and body image in relation to school violence. These are often overlooked aspects of the problem, but they play a significant role in the overall picture of school violence and prevention. By addressing these issues, Miller offers a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to school violence and the ways in which it can be prevented.

By reading School Violence and Primary Prevention, you will gain a theoretical and applied perspective on the current state of school violence and prevention. Miller’s research and analysis provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding and addressing the problem of school violence.

As a public health concern, school violence is a pressing issue that requires attention and action. The Healthy People 2010 initiative has recognized this and made it a major objective to reduce injury and death associated with violence. School Violence and Primary Prevention aligns with this objective and offers recommendations for policy changes and interventions that can make a real difference in the safety and well-being of students.
