The authors of this article, including Kevin Brady, start by stating that violence is
increasing with young teenagers. They think this poses a major educational policy
issue and their article analyzes ways to help the issue. They list research in the past
with the main reasons for teenage violencepoor attendance rates, academic
failure, and stressful school environments. They go on to discuss the need for
schoolpolice partnerships. They state that the mere presence of uniformed police
officers in school environments will act as a deterrent to violent children. They
reference New York Citys Impact School Initiative which has three areas of focus.
They concluded with the idea that attention will need to be placed towards the
community itself rather than only the school system.
