Abstract
The study of averted rampage has vital practical significance. By learning from the numerous instances where school rampage threats came to the attention of authorities and thus were thwarted, there exists potential for future policies and interventions to be modeled on prior successes. In addition, empirical knowledge about how school rampage incidents have been averted is especially important because many of the most popular and widespread school disciplinary policies and security practices implemented in recent years not only cannot be reliably linked to preventing rampage but also may actually hinder the few preventative measures with an empirical basis.
