Study Finds Decline in School Violence
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released hopeful results of a study on school violence. The report found that school-associated homicide rates decreased significantly from 1992 thru the 2006 school year.
"The report shows a decline in the rates of single-victim school-associated homicides, while multiple-victim homicide rates, which were much fewer in number, remained stable... 'The decline in episodes of school-associated violence is promising and encouraging,' said Dr. Ileana Arias, Director of the CDC's Injury Center."The study also found that schools are still safe, with homicides accounting for less than 1% of the total number of homicides that occur within that age group.
