TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Legislating School Crisis Response: Good Policy or Just Good Politics? JO - Law and policy A1 - Pagliocca, Pauline M. A1 - Nickerson, Amanda B. SP - 373 EP - 407 VL - 23 IS - 3 N2 - Over the past decade, a growing number of schools have responded to students’ safety and mental health needs following campus violence and other crises. More recently, policymakers have joined this trend, proposing legislation requiring schools to establish crisis response programs. This paper provides an overview of crisis response initiatives implemented by school districts following traumatic events, including school violence. It then examines recent state legislation and other policies, followed by a discussion of the advisability of such mandates, given the scant research and evaluation of school crisis response to date.
