Understanding and Responding to Suicidality in the School Setting
Christopher Gostelow, Scott Poland, Stephanie Guedji, and Yaël Seth
This handbook addresses the current state and practice of school psychology with a focus on standards unique to Australia, including historical, legal, ethical, practical, and training factors. It provides a compilation of the most current research-based practices as well as guidelines for evidence-based assessment and intervention for common conditions (e.g., autism, depression, learning disabilities) and for delivering appropriate services to targeted student populations (e.g., LGBT, gifted, medical issues). Chapters discuss the application of national and international school psychology practices within the Australian educational and psychological structure. The handbook also examines the lack of formal resources specific to Australia’s culture and psychology systems, with its unique mix of metropolitan cities and the vast geographic landscape that spans regional and remote areas. It offers numerous case studies and innovative school mental health programs as well as recommendations for professional development and advocacy that are unique to Australian school psychology.

Overview and Introduction
Kristin E. Klimley, Michael L. Bourke, E. V. Masias, and Vincent B. Van Hasselt
Americans are no strangers to crime. As a country we are privy to stories of criminal acts on a daily, even hourly, basis through our constant connection to information via television, radio, print, and the Internet. In recent decades the ability to gain real-time information about local, state, and national crime has further revealed the alarming reality of crime in this country. Our daily lives are seemingly enmeshed with violence in today’s media, and questions arise how this perpetual exposure impacts our society. In 1950, only 10% of American households owned a television, but today televisions are present in 99% of homes. Television programs display over 800 violent acts in a single hour (Beresin, 2009). According to a 2014 Gallup Poll, 70% of Americans believed crime had gone up in the past year (Gallup, 2015), inconsistent with federal crime reports.

Homicide-Suicide
Vera A. Klinoff
Homicide-suicide (H-S) is a category of interpersonal violence, whereby a person commits suicide after perpetrating a homicide of one or more persons (Barraclough & Harris, 2002). Although their incidence is low relative to other violent acts, homicide-suicides are considered a public health concern, as they typically involve more than one member of a family, and have been found to often target children (Adinkrah, 2003; Violence Policy Center, 2012). In some cases, there are survivors/witnesses of these incidences (e.g., children left parentless) (Adinkrah, 2003), who go on to bear severe psychological and behavioral consequences as a result of the trauma (Sillito & Salari, 2011). Indeed, H-S events impose widespread suffering affecting the individuals involved, their families, and the community. Developing a model unique to H-S incidents requires careful evaluation of known psychosocial, medical, economic, cultural, developmental and psychiatric variables that have the highest correlation with predatory violence (Goranson, Boehnlein, & Drummond, 2012). Within the H-S literature, select populations have been identified as being at an exceptionally higher risk for involvement: couples with intimate partner violence (IPV), individuals involved in family court cases, older adults, and law enforcement officers. Studies have revealed unique precursors and dynamics within each of these populations that increase risk them for this type violence.

Violence in Correctional Settings
Vera A. Klinoff and Philip R. Magaletta
The vast correctional population in the USA is a pressing societal problem with widespread social implications. As this population and the diversity of inmates it represents increase, so do the number of violent inmates. This, along with the acknowledgement that the conditions of confinement can ameliorate or contribute to violence in the correctional setting, requires a heightened emphasis on the management of institutional violence (Powitzky, 1990). Understanding and preventing violence in such settings remains a central goal of effective correctional management and reentry programs for inmates. It is one of the common foundational objectives that facilitate necessary order in public safety systems, which, in turn, allows for the implementation of programs aimed at rehabilitation, prevention, and intervention.
