About

This resource discusses how a natural reaction to acts of extreme violence, like school shootings, rioting, and terrorist attacks, is the desire to lash out and punish the perpetrators or perceived enemy. It provides guidance, tips, and key messages for parents and school personnel, who need to be prepared to prevent and to intervene quickly and effectively in the presence of abusive behaviors toward any students, including bullying.
