Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

Social science research points to the need for a better understanding of contextual factors and their impact on our understandings of crime and violence. This call for research also applies to understanding the individual, school and community level factors that impact school safety. However, school safety studies are often conducted at one, or at most, two of these levels. This panel will examine school safety research occurring at the individual, school, and community levels as well as research that examines all three levels of inquiry to understand the interplay between indivual, school level and community level factors that contribute to school safety.
