Default The State of School Safety in American Schools 2004-2005

NEW SCHOOL SAFETY REPORT PAINTS GRIM PICTURE OF SAFETY IN AMERICAN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
[Southeastern, PA] A new report entitled "The State of School Safety
in American Schools 2004-2005" speaks of sexual assault, violent
cliques and violent parents as commonplace in the nations schools.

The report was developed by the SERAPH Research team of SERAPH.net a
group composed of educators and crime researchers. The team used
interviews with 1,520 educators, 925 law enforcement officials and
numerous scientific studies to create a detailed assessment of problems
facing American schools.

"In 2000," states research team leader Dale Yeager, "The United
States Human Rights Projects' - National Campaign to Fight for Children
asked SERAPH to create a detailed report on school safety for select
members of the U.S. Congress. Because of the misconceptions about
school safety by the public and many legislators we felt that releasing
this years report to the public would assist in educating people about
the problem."

The report is available online at
http://seraph.net/school_safe_report.html

The report covers many areas not traditional discussed in school safety
research such as: Young Children and Aggression, Educational
Philosophies and Student Aggression, Health Issues and School Safety,
Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Piercing and Tattoos, Girl Aggression,
Sexism and School Safety, Youth on Youth Sex Aggression

"The issue of school safety affects everyone in society. Juvenile
crime, domestic violence, poverty are all tied to school safety issues.
The report will provide factual information to the public so that they
can understand the complexity of the problem and provide information to
legislators so that they can assist schools in preventing and managing
school safety issues."
