Produktbeschreibung

A Safe Place: How to Prevent the Next School Shooting by Luis D. Aponte is a groundbreaking and deeply personal exploration of one of America's most urgent crises: school gun violence. Drawing from seven years of meticulous research into 1,204 U.S. school shootings spanning three decades, Aponte-a librarian, veteran, and survivor of gun violence-offers a fact-based, nonpartisan roadmap to protect children and educators. ​

This book goes beyond headlines, uncovering the overlooked patterns and root causes of school shootings. ​ Aponte debunks common myths, revealing that arguments, feuds, and unresolved conflicts-not mental illness or video games-are the leading triggers of these tragedies. ​He advocates for teaching emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and gun safety to children as essential tools for prevention.

Packed with actionable solutions, A Safe Place outlines practical measures that communities can implement without waiting for Congress. From consistent use of metal detectors and armed resource officers to panic button systems like Alyssa's Law, Aponte emphasizes strategies that save lives. He also highlights the importance of community-based programs, such as Stand for the Silent and Community Violence Intervention initiatives, which foster safer schools and neighborhoods. ​

Through compelling narratives, Aponte honors the resilience of parents like Lori Alhadeff and Kirk Smalley, who turned personal tragedies into powerful movements for change. He also shares his own harrowing experiences with gun violence, adding a deeply human perspective to his research.

This book is not just a guide-it's a heartfelt plea for unity and action. Aponte challenges readers to join the fight against school gun violence, reminding us that every child deserves to grow up in peace. A Safe Place is a vital resource for parents, educators, and community leaders committed to creating safe havens for learning and growth. ​
