handle is hein.journals/wjsv6 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL More Approaches to Understanding School Violence This edition of the Journal of School Violence illustrates more ap- proaches for exploring and understanding school violence. The first study by Sacco and Nakhaie, for example, examined data from the Ca- nadian National Survey of Children and Youth to investigate hypothe- ses regarding the relationships between students' social connections and their feelings of vulnerability to criminal danger. Next, Chen devel- oped a school safety and student achievement model, incorporating the concepts of student background, school structure, school culture, school disorder, and student academic achievement, and fit it to 613 elemen- tary schools in New York City, using a Structural Equations Modeling technique. Fung studied the parent-child parallel group Anger Coping Training (ACT) program aimed to help reactively aggressive children in restructuring cognitive characteristics, so as to reduce childhood ag- gression. This research program involved experimental and control groups with pre- and post-comparison. Qualitative data were collected through 367 individual interviews (with children, parents and teachers), focusing on the children's cognitive characteristics and aggressive be- haviors at home, at school, and in classrooms. Griffin and his colleagues evaluated a three-group school-based violence prevention program.
