"This co-authored book critically reviews existing literature on school resource officer (SRO) programs and presents a thorough evaluation of an SRO program offered by Peel Regional Police in Ontario, Canada. The implementation of a school resource officer (SRO) program is a controversial response to school violence and safety issues. While some call for an increased use of police in schools, others are pushing to remove police from schools, or at least to end their involvement in routine discipline. Though many SRO programs exist around the world, little systematic research has been conducted on the topic. The study reported in this book represents the largest and most comprehensive assessment of such programs to date. The research by Duxbury and Bennell indicates that SRO programs can provide real value for students, school staff, policing organizations, and society, but benefits rely on having programs that are well-designed, that the right officers are selected for SRO roles, and that the initiative has support from major stakeholders. Given the current conversations regarding the costs and benefits of having police officers in schools, there is a clear need to determine the value that investment in these types of proactive policing programs creates. The book provides researchers, SROs, police agencies, school boards, school administrators, teachers, parents, and students with information about: the activities that SROs are involved in, how SROs can collaborate with schools to create safe learning environments, and whether (and how) such programs benefit the police, schools, students, and society. Easy-to-digest charts facilitate understanding, and anonymized reflections from SROs, school staff, and students are presented throughout the book to provide context"--

School districts in the state of Connecticut have continued to make decisions surrounding whether school resource officers (SROs) have a place in their schools. Two previous studies, research from 2008 (ACLU) and 2019 (Hudson et al.) highlight outcomes associated with SROs, but little research is available unpacking the roles and responsibilities that make up the role. Considering how under-researched the position is and using Lipsky’s Street-Level Bureaucracy (2010) as a framework to understand the SRO’s complicated role as public servants, this quantitative study investigates what a school resource officer is and the expectations, roles, and responsibilities of the position. The research questions driving this study are: (1) What is the role of a Connecticut School Resource Officer? (2) What are the expectations and responsibilities of a Connecticut School Resource Officer? Inspired by the works of Ghavami et al. (2021), Fisher and Devlin (2020), and Kelly and Swezey (2015), this study uses survey research methods to collect data regarding the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of SROs from both building-level high school administrators and SROs in Connecticut. Survey questions were adapted from the 2019-2020 National Center for Education Studies School Survey on Crime and Safety, and Kelley and Swezey. Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyze the data and findings were categorized based on the TRIAD Model (teaching, mentoring, law enforcement) developed by the National Organization of School Resource Officers. Findings show the role of SROs in Connecticut public high schools who participated in this study mostly align with the TRIAD model despite a lack of policy or written documents detailing their roles and responsibilities. Suggestions for future research and recommendations for practitioners are provided.

Different areas of inquiry have addressed the tragedy of school shootings and their deeply disruptive impacts upon school culture, classrooms, and student learning in this contemporary moment. Therefore, it is important to bring together interdisciplinary research on the long-term impacts of these events on students, teachers, and communities. In an age where arming classroom teachers is a serious policy initiative, there is a question of how a culture of fear manifests itself in those involved in school systems. There is a need to study these effects and implications in a time where violence and school shootings appear to have become more common than ever before. Hence, there is a need for diverse perspectives in this area of complex and urgent inquiry. Impact of School Shootings on Classroom Culture, Curriculum, and Learning explores the manifestations of the threat of school shootings and the aftermath of such tragic events through an interdisciplinary approach including but not limited to inquiries from educational psychology, sociology, educational philosophy, school leadership, and school culture with a view towards understanding the enduring and obscured effects of school shootings beyond the prevailing emphasis on facility safety and security. While chapters highlight topics such as resilience and recovery, school culture, sociology of schools, leadership and school regulation, and many more areas of interest, this book is ideal for educational leaders and administrators, classroom teachers, counselors, therapists, psychologists, school division trustees, law enforcement, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students looking for the impacts and aftermath of school shootings on all aspects of education.

Schools and Delinquency, first published in 2001, provides a comprehensive review and critique of the current research about the causes of delinquency, substance use, drop-out, and truancy, and the role of the school in preventing these behavior patterns. Examining school-based prevention programs and practices for grades K-12, Denise Gottfredson identifies a broad array of effective strategies improving the school environment, as well as some that specifically target youths at risk of developing problem behaviors. She also explains why several popular school-based prevention strategies are ineffective and should be abandoned. Gottfredson analyzes, within the larger context of the community, the special challenges to effective prevention programming that arise in disorganized settings, identifying ways to overcome these obstacles and to make the most troubled schools safer and more productive environments.
