Research on Lowering Violence in Schools and Communities (ReSOLV) in California, 2014-2022

ReSOLV is a longitudinal mixed methods study examining the school and community contexts that contribute to the root causes and prevention of violence in urban (Hanford), large county (Los Angeles), and rural (Mendota) study sites in California. Three data files are contained for this project, one for each study site. Each file contains aggregate data at the school and community level. The data include variables about school climate; community, school, and individual readiness to adopt comprehensive school safety approaches at the school level; student and school performance measures of chronic absenteeism, test score proficiency, graduation, suspension, and expulsion; crime data from the Uniform Crime Reports; and data from the US Census to create an index of concentrated disadvantage.
