Study: Assessing A Student As A Threat Can Affect Their Well-Being

When a student throws a chair in class or threatens a teacher, school administrators take several steps to determine whether that student has the capacity for larger acts of violence. But that process could be really hard on that student.

A new study from the International Journal on School Climate and Violence Prevention looks at how one of the protocols, which is known as a student threat assessment, affects the students who are being assessed.
