Despite the important role of schools
as a setting for violence research and prevention interventions,
relatively little scientific or systematic work has been done to
describe the nature and level of fatal violence associated with
schools. Public health and education officials have had to rely on
limited local studies and estimated numbers to describe the extent
of school-associated violent deaths. As a result, the U.S.
Department of Education (DOE) requested assistance from the
Division of Violence Prevention (DVP)/National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC) in establishing an ongoing
surveillance system of school-associated violent deaths in the
United States. This surveillance system remains the only systematic
effort to document school-associated violent deaths on a national
basis. The surveillance system will continue to contribute to the
understanding of fatal violence associated with schools, guide
further research in the area, and help direct ongoing and future
prevention programs.
