This research will incorporate cases from U.S public schools to analyze the factors which
influences the security within the school and efficient security patterns to suggest an adequate
suggestion to elevate domestic school security system.
This study is divided into two following models: a serious criminal offense model, which
considers crimes occurred on campus as subordinate variables, and a school violence model,
which considers as subordinate variables after limiting an act of delinquency and an a group
action that can harm the safety of students, although they are not included in the categories
of crimes.
First, from analyzing the factors which influences security within school, the explanation
power of serious crime offense safety model and school violence safety model is measured
12% and 11.3%. In serious crime offense safety model, the safety education for students,
among the safety programs provided by schools(t=2.548, p=0.011), parent participation to
school management(t=10.694, p=0.000), Security activities on campus(t=3.643, p=0.000), and
CPTED activity(t=6.467, p=0.000) are statistically significant, as affecting factors on the
safety from serious crimes. Similarly in school violence model, the safety education for
students, among the safety programs provided by schools(t=3.228, p=0.001), parent
participation to school management(t=12.034, p=0.000), security activities on
campus(t=2.663, p=0.000), and CPTED activity(t=3.928, p=0.000) are statistically significant,
as affecting factors on the safety from school violence.
Second, according to the analytic results on figuring out the optimal pattern to heighten
the security activities, the serious offence model?s explanatory power was 4.4% and school
violence safety model rated 3.9%. With the serious offense safety model, the activity factors
which showed statistically significant in influencing safety from serious offenses were
cooperation with local police force (t=2112, p=0.035), school policy management (t=3.309,
p=0.001), security patrolling activity (t=2.548, p=0.011). In the school violence model,
security activities initiated by the school which showed statistically significant from serious
offenses were cooperation with local police force (t=2.364, p=0.018) and policy management
(t=4.142, p=0.000).
In accordance with the result of this study, education for students rather than education
for teachers is more positive in terms of the safety on campus, and parent participation,
like education, is consistently needed for the safety on campus. In case of CPTED activity,
reinforcing plans should be prepared by intactly accepting examples in the USA. In case of
security activity, plans that can increase visibility and reinforce cooperation with local police
in a smooth way will provide a positive effect to the safety on campus.
