Schooled in Fear

Lessons Learned about Keeping Students and Staff Safe

Deborah Lynch

School violence of all kinds continues to be a major concern today. Nearly a third of all parents report fear for their children’s safety in today’s schools. It provides a detailed overview nine types of school violence and also a detailed analysis of the research base on effective policies, approaches and programs. It is designed to aid school, criminal justice and mental health professionals, as well as interested parent and community groups, in preventing, responding to, and recovering from school violence.

The book covers school shootings, physical violence, bullying and cyber-bullying, suicide, sexual harassment and violence, teen dating violence, gang violence, intruder violence and violence against teachers and staff. In addition to discussing each type of violence using detailed case studies, each chapter details known causes and correlates of each type, legal and policy implications, a description of evidence-based models and what stakeholders can do to address each type of violence. Selecting the right evidence-based approach (or approaches), and implementing it coherently, effectively, and with the right leadership and resources, can make all the difference.

In a time when teachers, administrators, parents and stake holders grapple with heartbreaking and frightening realities, Lynch does the necessary work to design, compile, promote and explain the interventions necessary to address the multifaceted nature of what now faces our schools and communities.

Schooled in Fear is a wide and deep exploration of violence of every kind in schools, from shooting, to bullying of every type, to suicide, sexual harassment, and gang violence. Her descriptions of various types of violence and their impact at the school, community, district and national level are documented by national and local data sources. She brings the issues to life with engaging and detailed case studies which include detailed descriptions of the efforts of students, teachers, parents, principals, district leaders and outside partners, to successfully address these issues. Dr. Lynch lays out the immediate response needed to address the issue and meet the immediate safety and accountability needs of all parties, but goes beyond that to define the culture and climate that needs to proactively be established to meet the social and emotional needs, as well as the instructional and student achievement needs of all parties.
— Peter Martinez, Former Senior Program officer for the MacArthur Foundation's Chicago Education Initiative and retired co-founder of UIC's Urban School Leadership Program


As someone who has spent much of his life in schools and working environments dealing with, researching and teaching others about many of the subjects in this book, I find Dr. Lynch's thoughts, reflections, research and recommendations to be paramount. If schools and systems are to promote institutes that promote benefits of student achievement, then following this book will provide guidance for building cultures and communities in schools where student contributions and achievement are the norm. Schooled in Fear is comprehensive research and a timely guide to the critical role of behavior change. For this, we are thankful.
