KIllam, Wendy K.; Roland, Catherine B.; Weber, Bill
Michigan Journal of Counseling: Research, Theory, and Practice, v40 n2 p4-11 Fall 2013-Win 2014
Violence in schools continues reflecting violence within society. There is a growing need for violence prevention programs within the schools that provide students with the skills needed to cope with interpersonal and relationship is-sues effectively. This study was conducted at a middle school and there were 345 middle school students (6th to 8th grade) who participated in the study. The students participated in a violence prevention program. In this study, the researchers used a pre-test/post-test design and the results indicated that there were some changes in attitudes towards violence that occurred after the intervention.
