摘要 哥伦拜恩高中、弗吉尼亚理工大学和桑迪胡克小学发生的悲剧让人们对校园枪击事件的担忧成为全国关注的焦点。呼吁采取措施保护我们的学生、教职员工成为学校管理人员的一个突出问题，许多学校雇用武装保安人员，限制进入校园建筑，安装金属探测器，并培训个人如何在枪手进入校园时做出反应。然而，许多这些安全措施是在很少甚至没有参考经验文献的情况下实施的。未能采取基于证据的应对措施所产生的财政和潜在后果现在才被发现。本文旨在通过研究针对广为人知的校园枪击事件而制定的常见安全措施的经验证据，并呼吁对学校安全采取基于证据的方法来填补这一空白。
ABSTRACT The tragedies at Columbine High School, Virginia Tech, and Sandy Hook Elementary School catapulted concern about school shootings into the national spotlight. Calls for something to be done to protect our students, faculty, and staff became a salient concern for school administrators, with many schools hiring armed security officers, restricting access to campus buildings, installing metal detectors, and training individuals how to respond when a shooter enters school grounds. However, many of these security measures were implemented with little to no consultation of the empirical literature. This failure to enact evidence-based responses has had fiscal and latent consequences that are only now being discovered. This essay seeks to fill that void by examining the empirical evidence surrounding common security measures enacted in response to well-publicized school shootings and calling for the use of an evidence-based approach to school safety.
