The initiative was a response to disturbing, high-profile incidents of school violence. Schools are mostly safe places—but when violence does occur, it can have far-reaching ramifications. CSSI is an investment in developing knowledge about the root causes of school violence, developing strategies for increasing school safety, and rigorously evaluating innovative school safety strategies through pilot programs.  \nCSSI projects aim to:  \n1) Identify and understand the potential root causes and consequences of school violence and its impact on school safety.  \n2) Increase the safety of schools nationwide by developing a solid foundation of knowledge and best practices that can be sustainably implemented through individualized school safety programs, policies, and activities.  \n3) Help identify matters internal and external to the school that may result in harm to students, teachers, staff, and schools.  \n4) Implement programs, policies, and practices that improve school safety and climate, focus on the school environment, or enhance educational and other outcomes for students and schools.  \n5) Identify effective strategies to respond to and resolve safety issues faced by schools and students.  \n6) In collaboration with key partners from education, law enforcement, behavioral/mental health, and social work, develop and test a comprehensive framework for school safety.  \nThe initiative is focused on K-12 public schools, including public charter schools. CSSI projects require close collaborations between educators, researchers, and other stakeholders in the school community to ask the right questions, prioritize challenges, identify solutions, collect data, and make sense of the findings.  \nThrough projects funded under the CSSI, NIJ works to produce knowledge that can be applied to school safety across the nation and for years to come.
