National Institute of Justice summarizes Dr. Cornell's study of threat assessment in Virginia

The National Institute of Justice published an article summarizing Dr. Cornell’s federally funded study of threat assessment in Virginia schools. A key conclusion is that threat assessment is an alternative to zero tolerance that results in very low rates of school removal and does not generate racial/ethnic disparities. Another conclusion is that school teams need training and support, and the kind of model they use makes a difference in student disciplinary outcomes. Schools using the CSTAG model had notably lower rates of removing students from school following a threat assessment . https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/student-threat-assessment-virginia-study-finds-progress-areas-improve#citation--0
