Poisoning as a weapon in schools: a new threat scenario

 
On January 21, 2026 *, a seventh-grade student, aged about 14, brought a chemical education kit (such kits are freely available in stores) to school. He selected one of the dangerous and toxic reagents, mixed it into a carbonated drink, and then offered it to his classmates. Three teenagers drank the beverage, felt severely ill, and were hospitalized at the nearest hospital with a diagnosis of toxic poisoning. Thanks to the competent actions of the medical staff, the teenagers' lives were not in danger, and they were discharged from the hospital the next day.

Unfortunately, attempts by schoolchildren to commit mass murders of their classmates or cause harm to their health are not uncommon these days. In this case, what is of interest to experts is not the fact of the crime itself, but the method chosen by the perpetrator. The use of toxic chemicals as weapons in mass killings in educational institutions is not the most common method, but it is not unique either. Since 2000, there have been five** recorded cases of this kind:

November 20, 2006, Emsdetten, Germany
attack on a secondary school, using chemical poisons (smoke grenades) as secondary weapons; 37 victims (0 killed, 37 injured); perpetrator – male, age at the time of the crime – 18, former student of the school;

November 12, 2019, Kaiyuan, China
attack on an elementary school, using chemical poisons (toxic powder), 54 victims (0 killed, 54 injured), perpetrator – male, age at the time of the crime – 23;

December 2, 2024, Berlin, Germany
attack on an elementary school using chemical poisons (tear gas), 44 victims (0 killed, 44 injured), suspect fled, crime unsolved, identity of perpetrator unknown;

February 4, 2025, Erebro, Sweden
attack on a secondary school, using (as an auxiliary weapon) chemical poisons (smoke grenades), 22 victims (10 killed, 12 wounded), perpetrator - male, age at the time of the crime - 35 years old;

December 16, 2025, Odintsovo, Russia
attack on a secondary school, using (as an auxiliary weapon) chemical poisons (tear gas), 4 victims (1 killed, 3 wounded), age at the time of the crime - 15 years old, a student at the school.

As can be seen from the description, the criminals mainly used tear gas or poisonous smoke; in one case, the criminal sprayed toxic powder in the premises. In three out of five cases, the attackers used poisonous substances as additional weapons and only in two cases as the sole weapon.  I have not found any cases of attacks on educational institutions involving the deliberate poisoning of food or drink as a means of committing a crime, although I fully admit that they may have occurred but were not reported to the police or the media.

I would suggest that in this case, we are dealing with a new method of committing crimes such as deliberate mass harm to health or murder. Given the active discussion of this fact in the media, social networks, and forums, there is a high probability that a similar scenario could well be repeated in the near future.

I invite everyone who is involved in or simply interested in the field of applied criminology, such as the security of schools and other educational institutions, to participate in the development of effective, practical methods for preventing and suppressing threats committed in the following manner: deliberate poisoning of food or beverages with dangerous chemicals (or naturally occurring components) with the aim of mass murder or causing harm to human health.

* The crime took place at a lyceum in the village of Kuyuki, Pestrechinsky District, Republic of Tatarstan, Russia.

** There is partially confirmed data on a series of attacks using poisonous substances in schools and higher education institutions in Iran in 2022-2023. Unfortunately, Iran's information secrecy does not allow us to obtain accurate data on the circumstances of the crimes (if they occurred at all) established by law enforcement agencies for analysis and publication in the handbook.

Has the number of school shootings decreased in 2025?

Note: English is not my native language, so I use an automated translation system to communicate. I apologize in advance if the meaning of some phrases is conveyed incorrectly. 

Not long ago, one of the leading American experts in school safety, Dr. Kenneth S. Trump, published an interesting post on social media stating that in 2025, the number of attacks on schools had fallen to its lowest level in five years, and the number of victims of such crimes had also fallen to its lowest level.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17sPNNL7j5/

First, I would like to say that I have great and sincere respect for Dr. Kenneth S. Trump. I consider him one of the world's leading experts and practitioners in school safety issues, and I highly value his personal contribution to applied criminology. Thanks to his work, many children have saved their lives and health. However, in this case, I completely disagree with the assessment expressed by Dr. Kenneth S. Trump.

On the day I read this message, I was just finishing the final edits to the updated version of my annually published Handbook of Crimes and Terrorist Acts in Schools and Other Educational Institutions. In the published 5th edition, the main addition was the statistics for 2025. I can say right away that the past year set a kind of anti-record for all the previous 26 years of observations, so I even highlighted it in a separate section for comparison. In the entire history of observations since 2000, there has only been one similar sharp rise in all indicators, in 2014. In short, for example, the total number of crimes increased by more than 60% compared to 2024, and by more than 70% compared to the average for the previous five-year period (2020–2024). For crimes involving mass murder and terrorist acts, the increase was more than 43% compared to 2024, and more than 64% compared to the average for the previous five-year period. If we compare the number of people killed and injured (in absolute terms), the situation is similar.

These are global statistics. If we take the data for the US separately, the situation is as follows: in 2025, 32 crimes classified as serious and particularly serious were committed in US educational institutions, 16 of which were mass murders and terrorist acts. Compared to 2024, when there were 12 crimes classified as serious and particularly serious, including 7 crimes with signs of mass murder and terrorist acts.  If we take the average statistics for the previous five-year period from 2020 to 2024 (rounded up), the figures will be even lower:

- crimes classified as serious and particularly serious – 9;

- crimes with signs of mass murder and terrorist acts – 4.

However, one significant change did occur in 2025: 9 of the 16 incidents  with signs of mass murder took place not in schools but in universities, with this proportion (56.2%) of crimes in higher education institutions recorded for the first time. For comparison, in 2024 this proportion was 42.8%, and in 2023 it was 40%.

I cannot say for sure, but it is too early to talk about a decrease in the number of crimes; in fact, there has been no decrease, just a change in the principle of target selection. It is difficult to say exactly what this is due to, but the shift in threats from schools to higher education institutions has been observed worldwide. Between 2000 and 2024, it showed an average increase of 2.7%, and in 2025, the increase in this indicator was immediately more than 10%.

In essence, Dr. Kenneth S. Trump is right in saying that while it is not yet clear what exactly has influenced this situation and how it will develop further, it would be criminal to be complacent about the security of educational institutions.

Handbook of Crimes and Terrorist Acts in Schools and Other Educational Institutions, 5th edition

 

Dear readers and colleagues! I am pleased to announce that work on the fifth edition of the Reference Book has been completed. The file has already been posted on the website and is available for download. The new edition includes statistics for 2025, as well as additional data for previous periods, corrections of some errors and inaccuracies in previous editions, and a total of about 30 revisions and additions.

New data systematization and analytics tools

In addition to the existing ones, several new evaluation parameters have been added to the comparative and dynamic data analysis tables:

1. In the «Total victims» section, in addition to information about those killed and wounded, a subsection «Kidnapped» has been added, and the section «Involving hostage-taking» has been supplemented with a subsection «For the purpose of kidnapping.» This is related to crimes that occurred in November 2025 in Nigeria, where two organized, group, armed attacks on schools were carried out within four days of each other. In both cases, the aim of the attacks was to kidnap a large number of students and staff from these educational institutions (in both cases, more than 300 people were kidnapped, most of them children) for subsequent use as hostages in order to obtain ransom or satisfy political or religious demands from the authorities.

This section will include information on the number of people kidnapped at the time of the crime.

2. In category «2. Crimes falling under the criteria of mass murder and terrorist attacks,» an additional section «Suspect fled the scene» is created, with information about crimes where the suspect managed to leave the scene after committing the crime, and they were detained or found (in cases of suicide) outside the educational institution they attacked, or the crime remained unsolved.

Statistics in this section will allow (albeit not fully) an assessment of the level of protection of educational facilities from criminal and terrorist threats, as well as the responsiveness of law enforcement agencies. If a criminal was able to freely enter an educational institution, carry weapons, commit a crime, and then leave the scene unhindered. Such facts, and especially the increase in the proportion of such incidents (in comparative and dynamic analysis) in the total number of crimes, give grounds for certain conclusions. 

3. In category «2. Crimes falling under the criteria of mass murders and terrorist attacks,» an additional section «Suspect committed suicide (including attempts)» is created, with information about crimes in which the suspect committed suicide, either at the scene of the crime or within 24 hours after it.

A separate block of analytics on suicidal cases among suspects remains; this section is created solely for the convenience of tracking and comparing general statistical indicators. 

Indication of information about attempted crimes

This issue has been discussed repeatedly, especially after the release of version 4.0, with opinions both for and against this parameter being expressed. As a result of the discussions, it was decided to include this information in the category «2. Crimes that fall under the criteria of mass murder and terrorist attacks» starting in 2025. Only those incidents where the crime has reached the stage of immediate execution but, for reasons beyond the perpetrator's control, the perpetrator was unable to carry it through to completion will be included in the list.

For clarity, let's look at two examples of such attempts in 2025:

January 10, Kursk, Russia: an attempted attack on a secondary school using cold weapons and incendiary mixtures. The suspect, a former student of the school, put on a mask to hide his face and prepared weapons (a hammer, knife, and incendiary mixture), used the hammer to break a window, and entered the school premises. However, his actions attracted the attention of a security guard, who pressed the alarm button and called the police, and also began to pursue the suspect. The criminal dropped the bag with the weapons and incendiary mixture and fled the scene before he could harm anyone.

September 17, Ostrogozhsk, Russia: attempted attack on a secondary school with cold weapons. The suspect, a former student of the school, had previously posted threatening messages on his social media page, prepared weapons (a knife and a hammer), brought them to school, took them out, shouted verbal threats, and attempted to attack those around him, but was quickly neutralized by a teacher and security guard before he could harm anyone.

Such attempts will be included in the list and taken into account, but in cases where the crime was prevented during its preparation, such incidents will not be taken into account.

Information about the presence of security guards at educational facilities under attack

This is a good analytical tool, but unfortunately, at the moment, this information will only be published in part, mainly data on incidents that occurred in Russia, where this feature of such crimes is highlighted in media publications and official releases from law enforcement agencies.

Foreign media pay little attention to this circumstance, and it is rarely mentioned in publications and releases. I tried to make inquiries myself, but they all went unanswered. I do not know the reasons for this, especially since this information is not classified.

Statistics for 2025, tools for data analysis

Due to the fact that five-year periods are used for comparative and dynamic data analysis, and in 2025 such a period is just beginning, three new analytical tools are introduced for the convenience of visual representation of the situation, to compare statistics for the current year:

1. with the same period of the previous year, i.e., in this case, with 2024;

2. with the average indicator of the previous period, in this case, with the period 2020–2024; to calculate this indicator, the arithmetic mean value for each estimated parameter for the five-year period is used. Example: the average number of crimes committed with the use of firearms in the period 2020–2024, we take the values for 5 years, 2020 – 3, 2021 – 8, 2022 – 21, 2023 – 15, 2024 – 14. We add them up to get 61, divide by the number of years – 5 – to get 12 (if the value after the decimal point is 5 or less, we round down; if it is 6 or more, we round up, in this case to 2). The average percentage of such crimes is calculated in the same way.

3. With the average value for the entire reporting period starting in 2000, the calculation of the indicator here is similar to the calculation for the previous period.

This will be presented in the form of a table, where you can clearly see the dynamics of the situation for each individual indicator.

That's all for the changes and additions.

As new data comes in, work will begin on additions to the current edition and, at the same time, data collection for the sixth edition. I would appreciate any help in working on the new edition. You can find out how to do this in the final part of the reference book, in the section «Prospects for new editions.»

My goal is to create a useful, reliable, informative, easy-to-use, and, most importantly, publicly available reference and analytical tool for researchers and specialists in ensuring the security of schools and other educational institutions from threats of various types and nature.

Once again, I would like to thank everyone who helped me collect new information, clarify and correct previously published data, form and edit sections, and do other work on the reference book.

Sincerely.

New edition of the handbook. Why is statistics important?

 

Dear readers and colleagues, I am pleased to inform you that the fourth, supplemented edition of the Handbook of Crimes and Terrorist Acts in Schools and Other Educational Institutions has been completed, albeit with a slight delay (originally planned for April 11). The file has already been posted on the website and is available for download. The new edition corrects some errors and inaccuracies in previous editions and adds new information sent to me by colleagues from the Republic of Kazakhstan.

When I first started doing research on the security of schools and other educational institutions, the first problem I encountered was the lack of statistical data on crimes of this category collected and systematized in one source. I had to spend a great deal of time and effort to collect information from dozens of different sources and recheck it, because the completeness, reliability and objectivity of the published information often raised reasonable doubts. It became clear that there was a need for a unified information and reference resource containing information on crimes of this category and at least a brief (minimum) set of factual data on their details and circumstances. Without this information, it is simply impossible to see an objective picture of what is happening and assess the real scale of this threat, as well as to conduct a qualitative analysis of data, comparative, cross-checking, to assess the development of events in dynamics. Without the results of such analysis it is extremely difficult to explain the criminological processes taking place, and most importantly, to identify and identify the factors that affect them, which in turn makes it very difficult to predict the likely development of events.

When there is no understanding of the vector and features of threat development, it is impossible to develop effective countermeasures. This can be clearly seen now, when after another mass murder or terrorist attack in an educational institution, various experts, political scientists, law enforcement officials, educators and journalists, discussing the tragedy, ask the question: «Why did the measures developed and implemented as part of the security strategy to prevent and suppress threats not work?». The answer is simple: they were developed on the basis of incomplete data, and in many cases the data was not only incomplete, but also unreliable.

I often come across statistics in media publications that are very far from reality. For example, when commenting on another mass murder at a school or university, the author supports the article with figures of general statistics of incidents at educational institutions, despite the fact that most of these incidents are neither mass murders nor terrorism. For the most part, these are crimes of general criminal orientation, committed on the basis of personal animosity between specific people, or related to material motives (robbery, robbery, extortion), committed with hooligan motives or even unintentionally.

Therefore, it is crucial not only to know the statistical numbers, but also to understand the meaning behind them. Proper sorting of data is equally important. All collected cases should be cross-analyzed, comparing information from different sources, with preference given to police press releases, reports and court records because these contain more facts than speculation. All collected incidents should be divided into groups and subgroups according to various criminological characteristics. Such a division will make it possible to clearly see the nature of the development of the situation in a certain time period, both in comparison and in dynamics.

On the basis of qualitatively collected and systematized statistical data, it is possible to create fairly accurate criminological models and forecasts, and most importantly, thanks to these models and forecasts, it is possible to develop truly effective measures for preventing and combating these threats. This is the main goal and primary objective of applied criminology: to understand the nature of the threat, assess the prospects for its development, identify vulnerabilities, develop a strategy to counter the threat and eliminate it. This requires reliable raw data, validated and systematized, collected in a single source.

In the fall of 2023, I set about creating it. As a form of data presentation, I chose a format similar to a police incident report, in the form of a summary of the circumstances of the event containing such information as: date, time, place, manner, subject, object, subject, victims, consequences, outcome, and other reliably established facts.

In February 2024, the first edition was published on the website of the Public Order and Safety Project, which included statistical data for 24 years (from 2000 to 2023 inclusive). Then I received a lot of feedback, recommendations, additions and edits from colleagues around the world, already 2 months later, in April 2024, the second edition was published, which contained more than 100 additions and edits. During 2024, taking into account the requests from readers and colleagues, the information was updated and supplemented, the third edition, published in January 2025, contained updated information for 25 years. Today, the fourth edition has been published, which contains additional information and edits. As new data becomes available, work will begin on the fifth edition, which I plan to publish by the end of 2025. I would welcome any help in working on the new edition, and you can find out how to do this in the final part of the guide, in the section «Prospects for new editions».

My goal is to make a useful, reliable, informative, user-friendly and, most importantly, publicly available reference and analytical tool for researchers and specialists in ensuring the safety of schools and other educational institutions from threats of various types and nature.

Once again, I would like to thank all those who assisted me in collecting new information, clarifying and correcting previously published data, creating and editing sections, and other work on the handbook.

With respect.

Consumer fraud: analyzing the problem and ways to solve it

 

Published on the main website of the project.

The article is devoted to one of the current topical problems of «Consumer fraud» - criminal activity aimed at deceiving citizens by selling (forcing) goods or providing services at inflated prices through deception, abuse of trust or moral and psychological state of the victim. The author examines in detail several common schemes of such fraud, such as imposing unnecessary services or equipment on elderly and socially vulnerable people, and analyzes psychological and legal aspects of these crimes.

Particular attention is paid to the vulnerability of the victims, that most often they are lonely elderly people who, due to lack of information and legal literacy, become easy prey for fraudsters.

The article also proposes specific measures to combat this phenomenon, including the re-establishment of specialized police units, strengthening preventive work, informing the population and creating hotlines for rapid response. The author emphasizes that a comprehensive approach, including both legal and social measures, is needed to effectively counter fraud.

The article will be useful not only for specialists in law and criminology, but also for a wide range of readers.

Join the project «Public Order and Safety»

 

Terrorism, mass murder, Internet fraud, theft, robbery, riots, rape, hooliganism, personal injury, street gangs, arms sales, drug trafficking and other crimes against the person, life, health and property. All this has become an integral part of everyday life. The dynamics of the development of the criminogenic situation around the world does not give grounds for optimistic forecasts for the near future.

The instinct of self-preservation is a basic instinct of a human being, therefore the most expensive and demanded commodity in the 21st century will be security, and investments in ensuring the safety of a person, life, health and property will be the most promising investment.

Crime and terrorism are changing, they are developing and progressing with modern realities. The law enforcement system is far behind them, lagging behind by several generations, it cannot effectively counter them. 

Modern threats require appropriate responses. There is a need for deep modernization of police and other law enforcement services and units, both state and international. We need new ways and methods of prevention, suppression and investigation of crimes, as well as terrorist acts, an effective system of analyzing and forecasting existing and future threats, the use of science and modern technologies in ensuring public security.

All these are the main goals and objectives of the international project «Public Order and Safety». We are an international, non-profit community of creative people engaged in applied research in the field of criminology, combating crime and terrorism. We not only study current and prospective threats, we offer concrete, practical solutions for their prevention and suppression.

Anyone can become a participant of the project, regardless of gender, age, country of residence, presence or absence of: specialized education, scientific or public merits, awards, work experience in the law enforcement system, membership in other scientific or professional organizations or communities.

We welcome everyone who shares our goals and values and is willing to join us. Together we will make the world a safer place!

Need help from a psychologist in writing an article

(address of one of the authors of the project):

The question is rather not to established professionals, but to those who are still at the beginning of the path, who are interested in mastering new and non-standard, enthusiasts, who have not yet been swallowed up by routine or «star disease», who still have creative aspiration.

If briefly and essentially: I need a co-author for an article (not scientific, but applied), the direction - criminal psychology, behavior analysis (profiling), the theme of the article – «Ensuring the safety of schools, other educational institutions and places with a mass stay of children from threats of criminal and terrorist nature», the section for co-authorship - (the name is still conditional) «Development, implementation and effective use of behavioral analysis techniques in the activities of patrol units of specialized police services».

A "small" preface to make it clear what we are talking about.

I started studying this problem a long time ago. I did not try to look for social, moral, medical, philosophical, religious or conspiracy reasons and sources of this threat (I will leave it to political scientists), for two reasons, first: in my opinion, in this case we are dealing not with the rule but with exceptions to it, this is not part of a system, each "school shooter" is unique in its own way and each such tragedy should be treated as a separate case, I fully share Dr. Peter Langman's opinion that there is no single psychotype of a «school shooter» and finding one is a utopia. The second reason: while specialists are searching for the «root of the problem» in the field of high materia medica, murders and other types of crimes against children continue, which means that it is necessary to develop a system of measures to prevent, deter and directly suppress these threats until the source of their occurrence is not (if ever) found and eliminated. I have focused my efforts on exploring the possibilities of directly countering these threats.

I looked at statistics, the specifics of the perpetration, as well as the dynamics of similar cases in other countries, read police reports, expert opinions, other analytics, compared, analyzed. The results did not inspire optimism; the situation turned out to be much worse than I had originally thought. The main conclusion was that in the 21st century, schools, other educational institutions (including universities and kindergartens), as well as places where children are present in large numbers, have become high-risk objects, where the number of threats, their level and the degree of danger are constantly growing, while meeting virtually no resistance. Then I turned my attention to developments in the field of countering these threats. I was particularly interested in the approach to solving the issue of ensuring the security of educational institutions in the U.S., and more specifically in two megacities: New York and Los Angeles, despite the fact that these are the two largest cities in the U.S. (taking into account agglomerations, they are home to almost 10% of the country's population), over the past 20 years (according to FBI surveys) there have been almost no serious attacks on educational institutions there, there have been isolated incidents (1 in each city), in both cases there were no fatalities. In my opinion, this is the result of a special approach to security in educational institutions in these cities, I will not tell you for a long time .

Taking these two units as a basis, I tried to adapt the principles of their activities to the realities in Russia, also supplemented with some of my own suggestions and developments. As a result, I got a draft model of "Integrated security system of schools, other educational institutions, as well as other organizations and with mass attendance of children, from threats of terrorist and criminal nature.

I analyzed the situation in this direction, my forecasts and proposals in my article, which I first published in May 2019. After that, I supplemented it several times, taking into account new tragedies. The last change I made in January 2022, after which I decided not to make additions to the existing publication, and began to work on a new, more extensive in the level of materials for analysis, and most importantly, concrete proposals for prevention and suppression of not only existing but also future threats, covering more areas of possible effective use of the proposed model through its improvement and flexibility. Here I finish with the preface and come to the point.

What kind of help do I need? I briefly described the situation in my already published article, Part 2, section «Some issues of staffing and training of school security units», where I propose to improve the professional level of officers of one of the units serving on the streets by training them in the methods of behavioral analysis. However, here we are talking about a completely different tactic of its use, it should be a kind of express-method, allowing employees, by certain signs and actions, to identify in the flow of people those who have plotted to commit a particularly dangerous crime, such as a mass murder or terrorist act.

Immediately I want to get ahead of the arguments of skeptics that filtering the flow of people in order to identify persons with suspicious behavior, using methods of behavioral analysis is ineffective, and an experienced criminal can easily bypass it. I will not object, it is really true if we are talking about a professional. Here, however, we are dealing with completely different subjects, those for whom this crime is the first, and in most cases, the last in their lives. If it is a «School Shooter», the final action he planned is usually suicide. If it's a terrorist attack, the perpetrator will, in most cases, also be a suicide bomber. Simply put, in both cases we are dealing with amateurs. Accordingly, we cannot speak of any professional equanimity and self-control of these two categories of criminals. Often it is just the opposite - their behavior contains a large number of external signs of what they are up to. And if on their way there are people who are able to recognize these intentions, it will significantly increase the chances that the threat can be neutralized without victims, and this is the main goal.

The main question is: Is it realistic to develop a methodology for such behavioral analysis that can be used to filter the flow of people? It is clear that we are not talking about 100% efficiency, but at least about «with a high probability». If yes, this is the subject of the article, which I will insert as a separate section in the main publication with obligatory indication of authorship (and if necessary other requisites).  

I tell you right away that I do it only for myself, on a voluntary basis, I have no sponsors, no one pays me royalties (and I actually do not ask), so I can not pay for your work, so all on bare enthusiasm.

Thanks for reading, if you have any questions on the substance of the post, write in the comments.

Cooperation with other communities and projects

Project «Public order and Safety» was initially created in order to create an open, international, professional, electronic discussion platform for law enforcement specialists, police officers, journalists, criminologists, students and those who are simply interested in the issues of forecasting, prevention and counteraction to crime and terrorism. 

Taking into account our openness and international orientation we are ready to cooperate with similar, close in thematic orientation communities, projects, public organizations, professional clubs, associations and other unions from different countries in different spheres of activity. Such as: organization of joint projects and programs, establishment of international relations, participation in conferences, meetings, seminars, assistance in distribution of information about publications, authors, planned and conducted events, etc.

In accordance with the concept of our project, we do not cooperate with or support (in any form) organizations and communities engaged in activities such as:

- political;

- commercial (if this is the main objective of the organization);

- religious;

- aimed at supporting or justifying terrorism and/or extremism;

- aimed at supporting or justifying hatred or intolerance towards individuals or social groups based on national, religious, political, racial, territorial, professional or other affiliations;

- aimed at supporting or justifying crimes, their perpetrators, or crime as a social phenomenon.

Cooperation with organizations engaged in the protection of labor, professional and social rights of employees of police services and units (trade unions), as well as state law enforcement agencies* is carried out in a limited form, mainly in terms of mutual information support and exchange.

 * their competence, according to the documents governing their activities, is limited to combating criminal activity and terrorism within the territory of the state to which they belong.

 For questions of cooperation, you can contact the editor of the site, any way convenient for you: personal messages, social networks, e-mail.
