SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS: WHAT WE KNOW, WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW, WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW
With more attention being paid to the safety of young people while they are at school, many communities are considering strategies which are intended to make schools safer environments. Although statistics on school crime and violence convey that such crime and violence are not necessarily occurring in greater numbers, there is, at a minimum, anecdotal evidence which suggests that the types of incidents which are taking place on school property may be more severe in nature and may be having marked negative impact on the educational processes for which schools are responsible. Additionally, media coverage of the tragic shootings which occurred during the 1997- 1998 school year has motivated many communities to act.
