School Violence Prevention
NASP has updated our position statement on school violence prevention to reflect the association's support for common sense, evidence-based gun safety policies relevant to the well-being of children and youth. NASP supports efforts to reduce violence in schools and communities at large that include strategies for eliminating inappropriate youth access to firearms, strategies to keep guns out of the hands of those who would harm students, and school policies which ensure that the only armed persons at schools are highly trained professionals (e.g., school resource officers).
