Summary:

Provides background on school resource officers (SROs), and recent renewed focus on providing Federal funding for more SROs as a means to preventing school shootings. Examines what available research studies suggest about extent to which SROs may reduce school violence, and discusses Administration proposed comprehensive school safety program. Discusses issues related to trends in school violence, potential sustainability of any increase in the number of SROs, and effect that SROs may have on students and the academic setting. Includes tables and graphs.
