The problem as I see it is that children already view school as a prison/ghetto to be endured/survived so making a school like a fortress may make that viewpoint even harder to change and deal with.Plus most of the stabbings that have occurred have occurred outside the school gates and outside school hours.

I think there is no one measure that can sort this out..it has to be a variety of measures.I personally would like to see more curfews imposed on children/teens though it must be acknowledged not all knifings/shootings occur at night.Parents who allow their offspring to roam the streets late into the evening really need to be jumped on as not doing their duty by their children.
