Prior Knowledge of Potential School-Based Violence: Information Students Learn May Prevent A Targeted Attack

0/5 ( ratings)

In the wake of several high-profile shootings at schools in the United States, most notably the shootings that occurred at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, the United States Secret Service and the United States Department of Education embarked on a collaborative endeavor to study incidents of planned violence in our nation’s schools. Initiated in 1999, the study, termed the Safe School Initiative , examined several issues, most notably whether past school-based attacks were planned, and what could be done to prevent future attacks.

The SSI employed a method similar to an earlier Secret Service study, the Exceptional Case Study Project , that examined targeted attacks on public officials and public figures . In the ECSP the Secret Service coined the term targeted violence and defined it as any incident of violence where a known or knowable attacker selects a particular target prior to the violent attack . As with the ECSP, the SSI employed an operational focus to assist those involved with school safety to improve prevention efforts by increasing knowledge of targeted violence in schools. By studying past incidents of targeted violence in schools, the Secret Service and ED examined whether pre-attack behaviors of perpetrators could be identified to prevent future attacks.
