 “I
COULD JUST KILL YOU” — just
a figure of speech, or a threat to be taken
seriously? A new study by U.Va. professors
Dewey G. Cornell (top) and Peter L. Sheras
shows that by using threat assessment,
schools can safely respond to students
making violent threats. Research shows
that in most cases, acts of violence within
schools are preceded by threats. Threat
assessment is a three-step approach that
requires school officials to investigate
threatening behavior by students and then
determine the seriousness of the threat
before imposing disciplinary actions. More
often than not, incidents are resolved
without violence. Full
