Violence in Schools and Other Issues
Violence in schools is an issue that impacts the community because it puts the children of the community at risk and it makes schools unsafe. Families, administrators and teachers have to come up with ways to reduce the risk—whether through the installation of cameras and law enforcement officers in the halls, or through the use of strict punishments of students who engage in on-site violence. Violence in schools is a problem that has to be dealt with from a gun perspective as well: such as, should teachers be armed? Is there a sufficient security plan in place that teachers can follow in the event of a school shooting? Are there enough school counselors on staff to assist in monitoring and helping students with emotional issues? There are numerous questions like these that have to be asked and answered by the community to adequately address the problem of violence in schools.
Another issue that impacts the community is the opioid epidemic. Too many people are becoming addicted to drugs, which makes the neighborhood in general less safe. It also can shatter families as young people overdose and die. Mothers, fathers, children—they are all at risk of developing drug addictions in today’s world, and no community is safe from this issue. The opioid epidemic has exploded and has taken far too many lives already: it has to be addressed.
Finally, there is the issue of gentrification. In this community, certain areas of town have been gentrified to attract new residents and businesses. New investors have come in to revitalize the community. However, in doing so, they have displaced thousands who used to find those parts of town affordable and now have been priced out. The questions of what to do with these people and whether gentrification actually will work to bring in new business and tax revenue for the community need to be answered by the community.

It is important to devise a plan which could reduce this violence and make schools safer for future generations. Facts about School Violence Although fears concerning school violence have increased in the last several years, recent studies show that "most children are safer in school than out of it.

We are using four different schools for our data, but as the data are being obtained from one community (therefore one unit of measurement for both the study and comparison group). We are unable to randomly assign the children to either the experimental or control group, therefore all of our participants do not have the same chance of being in the control or experimental group. Our data will also
It appears that the combination of bullying, treatment as an outcast and a propensity or obsession with violent images resulted in school violence. In addition to such factors and social hierarchy and bullying, mental illness is often one of the issues that perpetrators suffer with. In the most recent and severe case of school violence, the Virginia Tech Shootings, it appears that the gunman (Seung-Hui Cho) suffered from mental illness
School Shootings Violence in schools is a complex problem whose causes are difficult to pinpoint. Statistics gathered on school violence do not follow the norms of society as a whole. A National Crime Victimization Survey compiled and maintained by the U.S. Department of Justice, shows that overall crime rates in U.S. society have fallen. Simultaneously, school-based studies reveal that many violent behaviors have increased among children and adolescents ("Causes of
Gun Violence in Schools School violence is a dangerous happening that is transcending many schools in the world. Several occasions have been reported where children have perished or suffered traumatic experiences of gunfire and killings within schools.

Gun Violence in Schools: Statistics, Why, And Recommendations On December 14, 2013, 20-year-old Adam Lanza massacred 20 children and 7 adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School (Barron, 2012). The doors were locked and visitors had to be buzzed in, but Lanza was able to overcome these barriers by shooting his way in. The guns came from her mother's house and she was later found shot dead, apparently by Lanza. After
