About the Book

Schools should be safe-but they are not always safe for everybody. Authors Pamela Wilcox, Graham Ousey, and Marie Skubak Tillyer studied crime among students located across diverse middle- and high-school settings to investigate why some students engage in delinquency-but others do not-and why some students are more prone to victimization. School Zone focuses on the three key interactional elements-context, victims, and offenders-to understand and explain the impact of common crimes such as theft, weapon carrying, drug possession and the verbal, physical, and sexual harassment of classmates. 

The authors also consider how individual students and schools respond to crime and threats. They analyze the variables that schools can control in planning and practice that explain why some schools have higher crime rates. School Zone uses empirical studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of the patterns and causes of variation in individual- and aggregate-level school-based offending and victimization experiences while also addressing the adequacy of wide-ranging criminological explanations and crime prevention policies. 

In their conclusion, the authors assess the extent to which currently popular strategies of school crime prevention align with what they have discovered through their problem-analysis framework and scientific understandings of student offending and victimization.

Review :
“[The authors] meticulously examine the correlations between offending and victimization behaviors among students and their relationships to the characteristics of a given school environment. This intentionally curated and evidence-based text echoes the significance of the current issue of school violence, which unfortunately has become a reality of the education system. This book will serve readers across all sectors as a valuable contribution to the effort to change the education landscape for future generations…. Summing Up: Recommended.”-Choice "[School Zone] is a display of tremendous effort, collaboration, and author expertise centered around school-based crime and victimization. Authors Pamela Wilcox, Graham C. Ousey, and Marie Skubak Tillyer provide a comprehensive review of criminological theories as well as patterns and causes that help to explain school-based offending and victimization."-Contemporary Sociology
