Abstract
Every time a rampage school shooting occurs, the importance of school safety reemerges as a national (and international) priority. As time goes by, the media lose interest and the policymakers move on to other pressing issues. However, the problem does not go away. Fortunately, in the USA, it appears that the issue has risen to the level of congressional intervention with a recent commitment of roughly $ 15 million for research (it is called the Comprehensive School Safety Initiative). The ultimate aim is to conduct the research and evaluation that will enhance school safety throughout the USA.
