Schools have adopted a broad range of solutions to curb violence. The four programs GAO visited--in California, Ohio, and New York--are examples of some of the promising approaches schools have initiated to address violence. Research suggests that the most promising school-based violence-prevention programs involve at least some of seven key characteristics, including a comprehensive approach, starting early, and involving parents. Although few prevention programs have been evaluated, some federal agencies are now funding evaluations to examine various violence-prevention program approaches. The results, which should be available in three to five years, will help determine which programs work best at curbing violence. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-HEHS-95-106/html/GAOREPORTS-HEHS-95-106.htm GAO/HEHS-95-106 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-HEHS-95-106 Letter Report GAO/HEHS-95-106; School Safety: Promising Initiatives for Addressing School Violence; Juvenile delinquency Crime prevention Crimes or offenses Interagency relations Educational programs Education program evaluation Students Education or training Public schools Anaheim (CA) Dayton (OH) New York (NY) Paramount (CA) Go to High School, Go to College Project (Atlanta, GA) Beacons Initiative (New York, NY) SMART Program (Anaheim, CA) PACT Program (Dayton, OH)
