Columbia Law Hosts Campus Violence Conference

On April 4th, Columbia Law School will host a day-long conference on the disturbing trend of violence on college campuses entitled, “Violence on Campus: Prediction, Prevention and Response.” The event will feature academic experts from law and the social sciences, policy makers and practitioners. Sessions will cover such topics as predicting violence, how college violence differs from such incidents at the K-12 level, understanding and preventing campus suicide, media coverage of campus violence, the legal issues around privacy vs. public safety, and translating theories into practice.
