2 million children are involved in school violence yearly. We think we can do something to reduce it.
NoSchoolviolence is an advanced AI-research driven think tank. We believe that school violence and school shootings form a complex system of social, psychological, cultural, and media forces in play at the moment of a school attack. We are committed to reducing school violence by creating actionable tools that parents, teachers, school administrators, school site psychologists and law enforcement use to anticipate and intervene violence before it begins. We apply systems thinking, as well as the latest social science theories, to explore, test and deploy data-informed solutions.
This psychology research project is divided into 3 parts: we want to assemble the best literature, dealing with the psychological causes of school violence, and then determine the behaviors that are associated with those causes, and finally to identify the best therapy or intervention programs to deal with those behaviors. Once we accomplish, this we will put this data into an actionable web app so that parents and teachers and school administrators can use your work to identify behaviors that are potentially symptomatic of some forms of violence. We certainly could use your help.
