Creating a Drug Free Zone
A Drug Free Zone is any specific location in the community, especially an area where children congregate, that the citizens perceive as being a place where drug trafficking or alcohol availability problems exist, and the citizens decide to take action. Typically, communities have targeted schools and school yards, parks and playgrounds, public housing developments, and specific neighborhoods or city blocks.

Violence Prevention at UCR Prevention of Violence at UCR Procedures Referral Services Policy Statement ... Responsibility October 27, 1998 To the Campus Community: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE AT UCR UCR is committed to a safe and healthful campus for faculty, students, staff, and visitors. As you know, the issue of violence in the workplace has become a serious national concern. While UCR has always had a policy of not tolerating threats or violence on campus, I believe that in order to ensure that the campus remains a safe place, it is prudent to reaffirm this policy in writing. UCR has a "zero tolerance" policy with respect to threatening statements, behavior, or violence directed toward employees, students, or any other members of the public conducting business with the University. All threatening comments and behavior will be taken seriously and investigated. A team of campus professionals will assist in determining the proper University response for each incident. As a community it is our collective responsibility to report all threatening statements and actions immediately. If you experience a threatening situation, or know of any instance involving threats of physical violence toward any UCR student or employee from inside or outside the University community, I ask that you report it immediately to your department and/or the appropriate member of the Prevention of Workplace Violence Team (listed on page 6 of the Policy).

Establishing and maintaining a violence-free organization is a conscious decision. It does not happen by accident. Organizations who practice the following the 10 practical steps will be well on their way to protecting employees thereby reducing liability.
  • Place a high value on human dignity and emphasize, by example, respect for all people without regard to rank or position.
  • Initiate a zero tolerance policy for all acts or threats of violence.
  • Promote prevention of violence through formal training.
  • Establish procedures for the timely reporting of violent acts or threats.
  • Thoroughly investigate and document all violent acts and take immediate and appropriate action.
  • Establish a representative team for assessing threats and making recommendations for future violence prevention efforts.
  • Employ smart hiring practices as the first line of defense against internal violence.

    Introduction
    Scope Of Problem What Can Parents Do To Help their Children ... Where To Go For More Information
    Violence Prevention
    Bullying What is Bullying? Bullying is usually defined as intentional, repeated, hurtful acts, words, or other behavior committed by one or more children against another. It may be physical, verbal, emotional, or sexual in nature, and unfortunately it is quite common - approximately 7 million bullying incidents take place in our nation's schools each year. Bullying victims can suffer far more than physical harm. Grades may suffer because attention is drawn away from learning, and this fear may lead to truancy or dropping out. Victims may become withdrawn and depressed, and if the problem persists, they may feel compelled to take drastic measures, such as fighting back, carrying a weapon, or even suicide. Bullies themselves are also at risk for long-term negative outcomes. Several studies suggest that bullying in early childhood may be an early sign of the development of violent tendencies, delinquency, and other criminal behavior. Educators, parents, and children concerned with violence prevention must also be concerned with bullying and its link to other violent behaviors.

    This Task Force was created by the Legislature in 1993. Appointees represented a variety of agencies with an interest in the justice system's response to domestic violence. The Task Force began its planning in March, 1993, and held monthly meetings beginning in August, 1993. The Task Force conducted research and created multi-disciplinary protocols and training curricula. In April, 1995, the Model Domestic Violence Protocol for Law Enforcement, Prosecution and the Judiciary was finalized. It was distributed to all law enforcement agencies, state's attorneys offices, circuit courts and domestic violence programs in Illinois. A judicial bench book has been written as a direct result of the work of this Task Force. The Task Force was also charged with making recommendations to the legislature. Among the ten made were recommendations for basic training and continuing legal education for prosecutors regarding successful prosecution of domestic violence cases, for multi-disciplinary regional forums to review and adapt the Protocol for implementation at the judicial circuit or county level, and for development of family violence coordinating councils in each judicial circuit of the state. Violence Against Women Act Ad Hoc Committee
    As a result of the 1994 Crime Bill, Illinois was authorized to receive federal grant funds as part of a national initiative under the Violence Against Women Act. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority was selected to administer the program in Illinois. At least 75% of the award is mandated to be divided equally among each of the following three areas: law enforcement, prosecution and victim services. Funds are to be used to supplement, not supplant, monies from other sources. Included in the six program purposes for which the funds could be used in Illinois were: training, development of specialized units, and development and implementation of more effective policies, protocols, orders and services for law enforcement officers and prosecutors to more effectively identify and respond to violent crimes against women, including sexual assault and domestic violence.

    Maintaining a Safe Environment: The Role of Law Enforcement in School Violence Prevention
    by Brett Carruthers, CSP Senior Loss Control Specialist "Forty-one percent of teachers feel that violence in around school is a serious problem or somewhat serious problem." The Metropolitan Life Survey of the American Teacher.
    Positive police interaction with the community has been identified as the paramount method of policing since the days of Sir Robert Peel, the famous British statesman who founded the London police force in 1829. Sir Peel clearly recognized the need for police and public cooperation to jointly solve problems. Community interaction is a philosophy entrenched in most police departments. The only variables are the size and available resources of the police department. School districts and police agencies can create a dynamic and powerful partnership. This partnership is essential for a comprehensive school violence prevention program that can address safety issues, for example, violence in schools, and the presence of weapons and/or drugs and alcohol on school district property. It is the responsibility of school officials to find ways to provide opportunities for positive interactions between students and law enforcement professionals who are trained to help young people learn to deal with issues which are difficult for them to understand and/or face. As well as make certain that teens understand the consequences of unacceptable and illegal behaviors.
