Shifting Boundaries

Publication Nan D. Stein, Ed.D.December 2, 2014

Shifting Boundaries is intended to reduce peer and dating violence and sexual harassment by students in middle schools. The program includes six classroom sessions and a school-wide component. An experimental study found that the program had many large and statistically significant positive impacts on (decreases in) violence victimization and perpetration in peer and dating relationships, but it also found increases in total violence victimization and perpetration in peer relationships in schools where only the school-wide component was implemented.
