Özet

School police application to reduce violence at school is a resent issue in Turkey. This article seeks to understand whether there are different opinions between teachers and school police about the school police project (SPP). Survey was used to collect data from 4761 high school teachers and 104 police staff. The data indicate that teachers have limited information about the "School Police Project" compared to the school police. Furthermore, the teachers and school police have diverse opinion both about the responsibilities of school police as well as the effectiveness of SPP. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
