Racism, i. e. discrimination against people on the basis of their supposed ethnic origin, is omnipresent in schools. Apart from students, trainees and teachers, all actors in the school context are affected by this topic. Why is this so? How can racist discrimination be explained? What effects does this behavior have on those affected? And how can schools counteract it? These are all questions that arise and which this book aims to answer with the intention of enabling all those acting in the school context to critically examine their own knowledge bases relevant to racism. This book contributes to the development of school as a racism-sensitive space in which all actors behave in a racism-sensitive manner. Therefore, in addition to an overview of the history of racism, approaches to explaining racist behavior and the effects of racist discrimination, prevention and intervention approaches for a practice critical of racism in schools are presented.

School shootings - colloquially referred to as school rampages - represent a rare but serious form of targeted violence in schools. This book first presents the causes discussed in current scientific research. In addition to perpetrator characteristics, emphasis is placed on the private and school environment, the influence of mass media, accessibility to weapons, and the consumption of violent media. Secondly, primary and secondary preventive measures are presented, such as profiling, threat assessments and the phenomenon of leaking. And thirdly, the focus is on aftercare in school shootings, the aim of which is to cope with experienced psychotraumatic stress. Emergency psychological acute aids, short-term to medium-term, trauma-focused, as well as longer-term intervention measures for children, adolescents and adults are explained in more detail. Practical excursions on prevention as well as aftercare complement the corresponding chapters.
