Many schools in the United States are interested in improving the safety and learning environment
they provide for their students. One strategy is to use strict discipline policies such as suspension or
expulsion in response to violent or otherwise disruptive behaviors. Another strategy is to increase
security measures by installing metal detectors and keeping a police officer present. Still, other
strategies may involve approaches that are very different from these, or they may include some
combination of multiple approaches. With the theories you choose in mind, describe at least three
features of a hypothetical strategy for improving the safety and learning environment of a school. I
understand you may not be familiar with school programs or policies. What is important is that you
demonstrate how the theories you choose could be applied to school crime and misbehavior.
