By holding students accountable for their \u2063behavior, schools can\u2062 discourage \u200bfuture\u200d acts of violence and create a safer environment \u200bfor everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, support and resources\u200b should be\u2064 provided for\u2062 victims of violence, including counseling\u2062 services and\u2063 assistance in \u200bnavigating legal processes.
