From the Paper:

"The purpose of this study is threefold. One, a summary of contemporary research into the subject of safety within the public school systems in the United States will be examined. This research overview should not be considered comprehensive of the whole of this complex field. Rather, it's aim is to provide a general assessment of current trends in this field and examine whether public schools are generally safe. Two, the author has interviewed an education professional with several questions based on the research from the first section. The professional is an elementary teacher in a working class, western Pennsylvanian school. This individual has asked to remain anonymous and will be referred to throughout the interview as Edith. The questions I have asked Edith have been designed to garner a first-hand assessment of public school safety."
