Safe School Initiative

The Safe School Initiative is a research effort by the U.S. government aimed at understanding and preventing school violence. It studies the backgrounds and motivations of individuals who have committed or attempted acts of violence in schools to identify warning signs. The goal is to develop strategies for schools, families, and communities to recognize risks early and implement effective prevention and intervention measures. Ultimately, it seeks to create safer learning environments by addressing factors that contribute to school violence through evidence-based practices.
