THE LEGAL BASIS FOR ENSURING SECURITY IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE USA

The problem of offenses in educational institutions in the United States (murders with firearms, bullying, drug trafficking, the use of narcotic substances, etc.) requires great attention from the authorities and timely legislative regulation. This article examines the regulatory framework on the basis of which the issue of ensuring safety for children and adolescents is being addressed in American educational institutions. For a comprehensive disclosure of the topic of the article, the legislative acts of the United States concerning: the regime of carrying weapons; laws related to the establishment of “zero tolerance” in relation to offenses occurring in the education system; bullying were studied. Two categories of legislation in the United States aimed at individual impact on offenders and on the educational system as a whole have been thoroughly studied. The authors noted that only a close relationship between these two areas can lead to the best results in solving the problem of reducing crime and drug use in schools in the United States.
