New Resource Guide On Preventing Campus Violence Released The U.S. Department of Education's Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention last month announced "Preventing Violence and Promoting Safety in Higher Education Settings," a guide written by Linda Langford, Sc.D. and prepared on behalf of the Department's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools.
This publication was developed to help campuses prevent violence and promote safety. It reviews the scope of campus violence problems, describes the wide array of factors that cause and contribute to violence, outlines a comprehensive approach to reducing violence and promoting safety on campus, and lists specific recommendations that administrators, students, faculty, staff, and community members can follow to review and improve their policies and strengthen their programs and services. The document concludes with vignettes describing initiatives specific campuses have undertaken to reduce violence and promote a safe environment. To view online or download "Preventing Violence and Promoting Safety in Higher Education Settings," please visit the Publications section of the Center's Web site (http://www.edc.org/hec/). You may order this publication through the Publications page: the guide is currently available on CD; printed copies will be available shortly.
