Study on Targeted Violence on Campuses
Following a June 2007 report on issues raised in the Virginia Tech tragedy, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Friday released a study of targeted violence incidents on U.S. college campuses.
According to a media release, in total, 272 incidents were identified through a comprehensive search of more than 115,000 results in open-source reporting from 1900 to 2008. The study is being targeted to campus safety professionals who are responsible with identifying, assessing, and managing violent risk.
Its findings will be available on each agency's website: www.secretservice.gov, www.ed.gov, and www.fbi.gov. Or see here.
