Goverment Study Show School Violence Rare





A recent report on school violence from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that school violence is rare, and that the number of violent deaths at school dropped 43 percent between 1992-1999. “The risk for violent death that a child faces at school is less than one in a million,” said one of the study’s authors. While the number of violent deaths dropped, the study found that incidents involving more than one victim had increased. During the 1992-1993 school year, there were no multiple-victim school slayings. By 1998-1999, they accounted for 42 percent of all violent deaths at school. The report was published in the Dec. 5 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and can be viewed at http://jama.ama-assn.org.
