Key findings are presented from a survey conducted by the California Research Bureau showing that most California school districts incorporate violence prevention program curricula with a strong police and security presence. Many schools have installed closed circuit video surveillance cameras, canine searches, and metal detectors. Unfortunately, the vast majority of schools who actively use violence prevention and anti-drug use curricula are unable to directly measure the impact or effectiveness of these programs on reducing violence and drug use among students. Many small schools rely on school staff, teachers, and volunteers to provide supervision and security during school hours. Few California schools have brought together the key elements of students, parents, and civic and public officials to formulate a community response to school violence. While there are nearly 13,000 part-time and full-time school district personnel providing security in California K-12 schools, few are trained or certified in these types of jobs. By contrast, the state's largest school districts have their own police forces. Only 10 percent of medium-sized districts and fewer smaller districts have a dedicated school police force. A substantial number of school districts have agreements and contracts with municipal police or local law enforcement agencies. An appendix provides the survey questionnaire. (GR)

This document presents a policy framework for improving the personal security of women and girls. The document includes: (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Policy Background" (the concept of personal security, the societal context of women's personal security, consequences of violence for women and girls, long-term policy concern, and building an integrated policy response); (3) "The Role of the National Strategy on Community Safety and Crime Prevention in Addressing the Personal Security Issues of Women and Girls"; (4) "Key Policy Concerns" (the current situation and personal security for girls and women); (5) "Proposed Guiding Principles" (e.g., integrate a gender perspective into all aspects of the strategy, involve women and girls in the process, and strengthen collaboration across disciplines and sectors); (6) "Goals and Objectives" (e.g., identify and reduce the range of conditions undermining the personal security of women and girls); (7) "Components" (public awareness and education, prevention/intervention project demonstration and evaluations, model development, research and knowledge development, tools and resource development, and the role of the business community); and (8) "Funding Overview." Two appendices present information on risk factors and consequences and funding priorities. (SM)

Recent years have shown a rise in crimes committed in English schools necessitating the need to formulate security policies. This document examines the use of security lighting and provides guidance and technical advice on policy to assist those responsible for design, specification, purchase, installation, maintenance, operation, and management of security lighting systems for educational buildings. Concluding sections list and categorize the types of lamps and luminaries that are available, highlight case studies showing types of lighting needs of educational facilities and their associated costs, and provide a glossary of lighting terms.
