There are several things that the unit will accomplish. First, the unit will provide a security system that ensures no weapons are secretly smuggled into the schools’ premises. A lot of accidents happen as student bullies threaten their victims (Hank, 2012). Some have shot their victims while others end up stabbing them either in defense or in a planned attack. As such, putting away weapons will reduce the risks associated with bullying and parents will not get scared of sending their children to school. Secondly, the unit will be at the forefront when it comes to decreasing the prevalent vices of discrimination, racism, and stigmatization. Through education and profiling the violence, the unit will be in a position to stop school violence after changing the mindset of most students toward the minority populations (Juvonen, 2001). As such, the widespread violence in schools against blacks, the disabled, and those suffering from terminal illnesses will be curtailed. Thirdly, the unit will follow up on the actions of suspension and expulsion of the students involved in school violence (Hank, 2012). As such, the students will receive rehabilitation and change their behavior, thereby preventing the spread of the vice and ensuring that the measures taken against violent students are effective (Juvonen, 2001).
In conclusion, the unit will ensure that young people are taught how to handle conflicts amongst their peers in a peaceable manner. As a result, the schools and learning processes for the students feel secure both for the parents and their children.
