Only Joking? There's Nothing Funny About Threats
is a paperback from Bus Books that encourages students to "break the code of silence" when fellow students threaten the safety of others.
The premise is that prevention is the best way to cut down on the number of violent school incidents, since most students who have committed violent acts discussed their intentions beforehand.
Students are encouraged to speak up, even if they are unsure if the person making the threats is "only joking."
