Evaluating Security at Madison High School

Paper Summary:

The paper's statistics show the rise of violence in schools across the country. The writer argues the necessity of school district officials to explore different options and enact security measures that will bring the students a sense of safety. According to the paper, the purpose is to encourage the feeling of community in the school and bind people together for the process of learning.

From the Paper:

"As a result of this need, proper security measures should go beyond security systems to include programs that will reduce violence where it starts--with the students. "If children have a mental set that violence is an OK behavior, I don't care what type of weapon detectors you have in school. The check you really have to get to is their mind. Nothing physical is going to stop them," said Trevor Gardner, a Michigan expert who specializes in school discipline and violence (Clayton and Gordon)."
