Ep. 70 What Can We Do About School Violence? Comprehensive Approaches to School Violence with Beverly Kingston

The Criminology Academy

This week we spoke with Beverly Kingston, a Senior Research Associate at the Institute of Behavioral Science at the University of Colorado Boulder and the director of the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. We asked Beverly about school violence generally. How it has changed over time and how we typically respond to school shootings. We then discuss a paper Beverly co-authored about school readiness to implement a program. Finally, we talk about the impacts some responses like school resource officers and lockdown drills can have on children.

Beverly has been published in journals such as Youth & Society, American Journal of Public Health, and Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review.
