Therefore, the legislature requires every school to adopt a crime and victimization policy that conforms to specified criteria. Firstly, schools are expected to adopt a zero tolerance policy that defines the procedure followed by a given school (within the state) in reporting the misconduct or behavior of a particular student to the relevant law enforcement departments when the accused is within the district school board’s jurisdiction. Secondly, the policy clearly defines the mischievous acts deemed as dangerous to the schools’ safety. Thirdly, the policy defines the punishable petty acts of misconduct within the given school premises. Fourthly, the policy requires the schools to curb the acts of victimization committed against vulnerable students, staff members, visitors, and volunteers among other persons within the school premises.
The reason that I feel that random drug testing in schools is important is because there are drugs everywhere and can easily be found. The main reason that many teens start using drugs is because of peer pressure and they feel that's there way of being accepted.The reason drug testing would help schools is because now the parents these students will be able to know if there child is possibly doing any drugs and can help prevent them from further use. The schools can also provide counseling for these students which can benefit a safe and private way to stop using drugs. Many students would probably resent the fact of talking a drug test so, I feel that two random drug test during the school year would let the school know if they are doing drugs and by the second drug test if they have chosen to keep doing drugs.And since most schools test only students who do something more than just show up for class—like join an after-school club, or play a sport—kids can avoid the activities rather than quit drugs. Drugs in school are a very big issue because schools are a drug free environment.
The nationally representative has did a summary to analyze the percentage of students that are in grades 9 through 12 who have played apart in behaviors related to violence. The overall rates for the years between 1991,1992,1993,1994,1995,1996,1997 were 68%, 70%, 60%; and69%.This is something that needs to improve before we lose our young generation to the streets. To value the statistical importance of time trends for these variables, logistic reflux analyses were conducted that help show the difference from gender, grade, and race or ethnicity and showed high-order results. Many children have not been properly loved and nurtured and believe that violence is the only means for them. Many children are being raised by a violent parent making their surrounding a living hell and believe violence is the only way to setting a conflict.
Zero Tolerance Policies Annemarie Zimzores Grand Canyon University: EDA 555 Legal Issues in Education August 27, 2014 Zero Tolerance Policies Many people are calling school districts zero tolerance policies “ridiculous.” Many school districts have zero tolerance policies with reasonable outcomes and disciplinary consequences. School safety is very important. The purpose of zero tolerance policies is to provide a safe learning environment for all students.

Des Moines Independent Community School District, students were disciplined for wearing black armbands in school to protest the Vietnam War. The result became known as the Tinker Standard, in which school officials may only respond with formal discipline in cases where the officials may only respond with formal discipline in cases where the off campus speech causes or threatens to cause a substantial and material disruption at school or interference with the rights of students to be secure linked to cyberbullying, and if cyberbullying occurs off campus, but still causes substantial disruption within the educational setting, school administrators have the right to become involved. Administrators are often very wary of intervening in activity in which does not occur in the school environment. However, officials are more likely to respond when off campus activity appears to be criminal or to raise the prospect of violence because of hurtful communication may be taking place online, it could severely impact the targets’ interactions and feelings of security while on campus which leads to an inability to reach their full

We will emphasize why it should be allowed in schools. Many definitions for corporal punishment have been put forth. But the commonest definition is “any action taken to punish a child which, if directed at an adult, would constitute an unlawful assault” (Abolishing corporal punishment of children, 6). When we hear these words “Corporal punishment”, the first sense or meaning that crosses our mind is the act of physically harming a
