"Sprague and Walker have produced a 'must-have' second edition of
their groundbreaking work on school safety. The book covers a wide
range of core topics and addresses critical issues facing the
field. It has a particular emphasis on planning, screening, and
practical solutions for supporting youth and preventing violence.
This volume highlights up-to-date research and provides solid
guidance and important recommendations for school-based
practitioners and researchers."--Catherine P. Bradshaw, PhD, MEd,

accessible resource is a wonderful gift to those committed to
supporting students’ academic, behavioral, and social–emotional
well-being in an integrated fashion. Sprague and Walker provide an
ideal balance of step-by-step instructions and 'big-picture'
perspectives. I look forward to using this book with our school and
district partners who are designing, implementing, and evaluating
Comprehensive, Integrated, Three-Tiered (Ci3T) models of
prevention. I also look forward to using this book in university
courses supporting evidence-based practices for students with or at

I can think of few in the field of education who have contributed
more to creating safe and healthy school climates than Sprague and
Walker."--Mark Katz, PhD, Director, Learning Development Services,
