Description

Introduction The safety-learning connection is clear--if schools are not safe, children will not find themselves in an environment in which they can learn. Crime and its related problems create an unfavorable environment for academic success (Bauer et al., 2008, 13; Finnish Centre for Health Promotion 2006, 7). Students show higher academic achievement where there is a safe and orderly environment (Janerette 2005, 4), just as safety is a prerequisite for other kinds of development in society (Bodson 2008, 136). Effective school-based violence prevention programs show a number of positive effects, including improvements in school achievement (Hahn 2007, 8). A protective environment is conducive to learning (Prinsloo 2007, 47; UNICEF 2009, 16).
