School violence and gangs pose serious problems for students and teachers. Acts of violence include fighting, bullying, sexual harassment, drug and weapons possession, vandalism, and theft. Gangs are groups that engage in delinquent behavior. Statistics show high rates of crimes against students and teachers at school. As educators and parents, it is important to watch for signs that a student may be at risk of engaging in violence, and to teach children how to resolve conflicts non-violently and get help from adults when needed.
