Summary
This study developed a manual annotation method to assess school violence risk by analyzing student interviews. This approach helps identify key factors for developing interventions to reduce school violence.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Criminology
- Education
Background:
- School violence is a growing concern requiring new assessment methods.
- Current risk assessments lack sensitivity and standardization.
- Innovative approaches are needed to identify students at risk.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and test a manual annotation method for assessing school violence risk.
- To analyze student interviews for behaviors, attitudes, and technology use related to risk.
- To identify key factors for developing school violence reduction strategies.
Main Methods:
- Conducted feasibility study with 25 risk assessments of 12-18 year olds.
- Used manual annotation of transcribed student interviews.
- Applied statistical analysis to identify significant risk factors.
Main Results:
- Initiated development of an annotation guideline for extracting relevant information.
- Identified key factors associated with school violence risk levels.
- Demonstrated feasibility of manual annotation for risk assessment.
Conclusions:
- Manual annotation shows promise as a standardized and sensitive method for school violence risk assessment.
- Further research with larger samples is needed to fully develop the approach.
- Findings will inform the development of targeted interventions to mitigate school violence.
