  1. Why Collaboration Is NeededConcern about violence at schools provides opportunities for enhancing connections with families and other neighbourhood resources. However, in too many cases, those responsible for school safety act as if violence on the campus had little to do with home and community. Children and adolescents do not experience such a separation—for them violence is a fact of life.The problem goes well beyond the widely reported incidents that capture media attention. For children, the most common forms of violence are physical, sexual, and psychosocial abuse experienced at school, at home, and in the neighbourhood. There are no good data on how many youngsters are affected by all the forms of violence or how many are debilitated by such experiences. But no one who works to prevent violence would deny that the numbers are large. Far too many youngsters are caught up in cycles where they are the recipient or perpetrator (and sometimes both) of harassment ranging from excessive teasing, bullying, and intimidation to mayhem and major criminal acts.Clearly, the problem is widespread and is linked with other problems that are significant barriers to development, learning, parenting, teaching, and socialization. As a consequence, single-factor solutions will not work. This is why guides to safe school planning emphasize such elements as schoolwide prevention, intervention, and emergency response strategies, positive school climate, partnerships with law enforcement, mental health and social services, and family and community involvement. (See the other titles in the “Effective Strategies for Creating Safer Schools and Communities” series for information on these areas of emphasis.)The need is for a full continuum of interventions—ranging from primary prevention, through interventions as early after onset as is feasible, to treatment of individuals with severe, pervasive, and chronic problems. School and community policymakers must quickly move to embrace comprehensive, multifaceted schoolwide and communitywide approaches. And, they must do so in a way that fully integrates such approaches with school improvement efforts at every school site.
