The Implementation of Life Space Crisis Intervention as a School-Wide Strategy for Reducing Violence and Supporting Students' Continuation in Public Schools

<p>The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of implementing Life Space Crisis Intervention as a school-wide strategy for reducing school violence.</p> <p>Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI) is a strength-based verbal interaction strategy (Long, Fecser, Wood, 2001). LSCI utilizes naturally occurring crisis situations as teachable moments</p> <p>The literature review analyzes school violence, violence prevention programs and effective change practices.</p> <p>This study employed mixed research methods with a sample population of public school, LSCI trained, staff members in Central New York.</p> <p>The result of this study supports two conclusions: LSCI is an effective school-wide strategy, but was not implemented effectively or that LSCI is effective as part of a school-wide violence prevention continuum. Further research is warranted.</p>
