I feel spending more time on recommending mentally ill student go see a therapist or in more serious cases spend time at a mental hospital to get more treatment can prevent more violence at school.
Most likely using data from social networks to prevent student violence can lead to a lot of posts where non-violent students post violent short films to YouTube, or more violent rap lyrics to Facebook and Twitter for fun.
