5. History of School Violence Recent history (last 20 years) we can cite specific examples of school violence , specifically the fairly dramatic school shootings that get tons of media attention and a encourage a climate of fear . Violence in urban schools related to gangs and violence involving other weapons or even without weapons is not mentioned at all even though they are far more common. . Actually despite the increase in dramatic cases of multiple victims, like the Columbine shootings, school violence in general, and homicide s in schools are going down, and have been since 1992 . There were 40 school shooting deaths during the 1997-98 school year, down from 55 in 1992-93. ( National School Safety Center at Pepperdine University ). The chances of a child being killed at school are less than one in a million , according to the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice . The most current data on school violence (not just homicides) in the United States also indicates that over all school violence (including rape , sexual assault , robbery , attacks with weapons, and suicide ) has been declining since 1993. Schools are actually the safest places for children to be; 99% of children die away from school, (Washington Post, Justice Policy Institute). Children are far more likely to be victim s of violent crime at home or in their neighborhoods and most crime in schools is non-violent theft . ( U.S. Department of Education , 1999).
