Preventing school violence through physical design and technology involves assessment of the physical school environment with the intention of increasing the safety and security of that environment. Inspection of the physical design of the school is the first crucial step in this strategy. From such an inspection, a prevention plan can be developed and enacted to address problems. Such a plan tends to focus on controlling access to school property as well as maintaining control on it. When appropriate, the plan may include some application of technology, such as use of metal detectors or surveillance cameras. Preventing school violence through design and technology offers a strategy that enables school officials to provide a safe and secure learning environment in which students can achieve and succeed.
