The ASV database provides invaluable data for educators, law enforcement, and others connected to school communities who seek to identify policies and practices that are proven to prevent violence.

The ASV Project aims to serve as a vital resource for school safety planning teams and SROs. Its database features accounts of both completed and averted violence, because lessons can be learned from both acts of violence that were carried out and those that were prevented. Every averted attack represents not only a success story, but a learning opportunity.
