    Jessica Beckendorf shares highlights from her conversation with Dr. Ron Avi Astor. 

    Dr. Astor holds the Marjorie Crump Chair Professorship in Social Welfare at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs with a joint appointment in the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. Since the 1980s, Dr. Astor and his colleagues had been working on addressing school safety issues. His work caught the attention of several military-connected school districts in Southern California and prompted them to request his help on what they perceived as a school bullying issue.

    Dr. Astor talks about his work and the "whole community" approach his team took to addressing the issues in the schools they worked with.
