NoSchoolViolence Research Institute

We need financial support to create and operate the NoSchoolViolence Research Institute. Our goal is to raise $250K annually to sustain our research agenda.

Research

Several research projects in process. Teams are gathering data to discover school violence patterns in over 500 FBI-police records, incident accounts, the history of school shooters, their medical and mental health, their event behaviors, violence event communities and school facility structures, as well as research into the violence of school children returning to school after events like COVID, and into the most effective adolescent violence intervention treatments.

Data Science

Our data teams are developing several free apps that help parents, schools, researchers, law enforcement and educational policy to better understand patterns in school violence that can help them anticipate and reduce school violence events. We are using AI and data visualization tools—donated by Microsoft, Google, Alteryx, Tableau and Elastic Search — to create the Lantern and Athena set of apps.

Community

We want to work with academic and policy-making institutions, both nationally and internationally, to better understand the nature, trends and patterns in adolescent and school violence.
