Surveys confirm that violent behavior begins with bullying in school. Some were the result of an unsafe environment. Students at some point skipped school because of the unsafeness of the school. If you would like, you can take this survey yourself.

Also, here's a survey we actually made ourselves, so you could also take this if you want to: "'School safety' survey"

Survey result report:

How we gathered our data:

On our survey, we asked questions that were relevant to the things we'd need to know about school safety, such as how people feel about how it's currently being handled, and what they think could possibly be done to handle it better.

What questions we asked and what the answers we got for them were:

First, we asked people how much effort they think the staff of a school should put into ensuring that it'd be a safe environment for their students. We asked them to give us the answer on a scale of 1 to 5. The closer somebody's answer would be to 1, the less they'd think the staff of a school should be obliged to trying to make the school they work at as safe for the students as possible. The closer somebody's answer would be to 5, the more they'd think the staff of a school should be responsible for ensuring that it'd be safe for the students.

For our second question, we asked people whether or not they think students at a school who may have any anger issues or violent tendencies deserve any special treatment from their school.

Next, for our third question, we asked people whether or not they think school safety should be "Enforced through 'Physical measures'". The least amount of them they think it shouldn't be, more of them said they think it should be, and the majority of them all said they can't make up their mind on the matter.

For our fourth question, we asked people whether or not they think that those who are in charge of keeping schools safe are already doing the best possible jobs they can, or if they think they could still be doing better. A large majority of people said they think they could still be doing better.

For our fifth question, we asked people which one of these they believe would be the best for keeping either just themselves or everybody safe at school: Enforcing metal detectors, letting school staff members carry around their own weapons, counseling any students who may seem to have any "Issues", staying away from "Quiet kids", increasing security inside and around schools, hiring more security guards while also trying to only let people who seem like they actually care about the job a security guard would have get it, or using their own self-defense measures.

For our sixth question, we asked people which one of the following things they think they should do if they ever feel threatened in school: Alerting the authorities, using their own self-defense, simply just running away, or both alerting the authorities AND using their own-self defense measures. Most of them said they think they should alert the authorities

For our seventh question, we asked people to select the things they think are clearly prevalent causes for people who act violently in schools to act that way, the things they can select being the answers you'd be able to choose for the question in the picture shown above. Poor mental health conditions was said to be an obviously large cause of violent behavior in schools the most.

Also, know that "Hyperactive or impulsive per..." is actually supposed to say "Hyperactive or impulsive personality", that "Witnessing or being a victim..." is actually supposed to say "Witnessing or being a victim of violence", and that "Poverty or high crime rates i..." is actually supposed to say "Poverty or high crime rates in the community".

For our eighth question, we asked people what they think should be done to a student who'd act violently in school, in a way which'd involve them intentionally doing things they'd most likely be aware could have them be endangering the safety of anybody else at the school.

"They should be taken into coun..." is actually supposed to say "They should be taken into counseling". "It should be left completely up t..." is actually supposed to say "It should be left completely up to their parent (s) or guardian (s)". "Should be punished but not be..." is actually supposed to say "Should be punished but not be put in jail".

Most people said that they think a student who'd act "Violently in school" should be taken into counseling.

For our nineth question, we asked people how much they think schools should be funded to be able to afford things they could use to enforce security. Most people said they think they should be funded by 20 million dollars.

"However much they need to keep the..." is actually supposed to say "However much they need to keep the school safe". "It should not be funded. Give the stud..." is actually supposed to say "It should not be funded. Give the students weapons".

For our tenth and final question, we asked people how much they think on a scale of 1 to 5, that whenever violent behavior occurs in a school, it isn't from an actual student in the school, and is instead from somebody else who isn't a student in the school, such as a staff member in it, a parent or guardian of one of the students in the school, etc. The closer somebody's answer would be to 1, they'd think that more of the time somebody acts violently in school, they'd just be a student in the school. The closer somebody's answer would be to 5, they'd think that less of the time somebody acts violently in school, they'd just be a student in the school.

The problem:

As it could be assumed from what most people chose to say on this survey, most of them think that whenever somebody would act violently in a school, those who were meant to be in charge of keeping that school would be the most responsible for what happened.

For example, for the first question, which asks people how much they think the staff of a school should be responsible for ensuring that it's safe on a scale of 1 to 5, most people chose to say the staff of a school would be responsible for keeping it safe by a 4.

In addition, for the fifth question, helping disturbed students at school deal with their issues had the most people saying it's one of the actions they think would be effective in improving school safety. For the seventh question, poor mental health conditions were determined to be the thing which people would say is a large cause of violence the most. For the eighth question, most people said they think a student who'd act violently in school should be taken into counseling. All these show that most people who took our survey figured that a student who'd act violently in school shouldn't just be put in jail or anything else like that, but should instead have others acknowledge the fact they may have poor mental health. This shows that all those people might generally sympathize for a student who would act violently in school, rather than completely blame them for what they may've done while acting so aggressively.

This only helps to prove how they think that those who were actually meant to be in charge of keeping a school safe should instead be held more responsible for such violent behavior. For instance, they probably think that whenever a student would act violently in their school, it might be due to some mental or emotional issues they may have, and that those who were meant to keep that school safe should get more of the blame for what would've occurred as they should've already been able to realize the student had issues and should've tried to help them deal with them before.
