<p> While there is considerable research on active shooters, civil liberties, and security in school, there is only limited research that focused upon the parent&rsquo;s perceptions. Parent&rsquo;s perceptions affect children&rsquo;s success in learning and influence children&rsquo;s perceptions on feeling safe in school. The purpose of this study is to use a quantitative correlational study to evaluate the parent&rsquo;s perceptions as they relate to sacrificing civil liberties for increased school security. A specific focus is upon parents with children in high schools within the United States. The theoretical basis for this study is the decision making theory which assumes rational behavior. The study required the creation, validation, and testing for reliability of the sacrificing civil liberties for security survey instrument. The sampling of 254 parents from throughout the United States was completed utilizing a web-based survey. The results of this study identified a significant relationship between every subscale of sacrificing civil liberties (SCL) and both predictors Trust in Government (TIG) and Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA). No relationship was found between educational levels and SCL. A relationship with the predictor age was found with the SCL subscales active monitoring and passive monitoring. Finally, a relationship with the predictor gender was found with the SCL subscale active monitoring. These findings indicate that parents are willing to sacrifice some of their children&rsquo;s civil liberties within certain constraints. Based upon the results of this study, a conclusion can be drawn that parent&rsquo;s perceptions are influenced by many of the predictors. The largest relationship was with the predictors TIG and RWA. School officials, law enforcement, and government officials can use these results to assess the acceptability of their actions of increased security while carefully limiting the impact upon student&rsquo;s civil liberties.</p>

With this participation, the psychologist deals with the popular class demands, demanding from Psychology as science and profession new conceptions and practices that can contribute in an effective way for social change and better quality of life for the target users of these services. The aim of this research was to question the psychologist presence and work in the SUAS, to reflect and discuss critically about the actions, problems and dilemmas faced by the professional in this context. It is a qualitative research based on the principals of Dialectical and Historical Materialism, where analyses of the following sources of information were carried through: technical references from the Federal Psychology Council (CFP); field diaries composed by the researcher with reflections about the participation in public events on this theme (seminars, forums, debates, etc.). The analyses of these materials showed the contradictions between what is proposed by the PNAS and the CPF orientations, with what is carried through and experienced by the professionals practice. The research results revealed that although the SUAS participation presents a new work field for the psychologist, these professionals still reproduce old practices. This affirmation is due to the identification of actions that maintain a traditional psychology perspective that tend to focus in individual and subjective aspects to understand people s problems. In addition, the professionals complained about their education and the lack of a space for discussions about their practice, what often results in actions that don t achieve their intended goals. Apart form the education problem, which doesn t encompass this new context and field of work, the professional encounters in the SUAS services problems such as: inadequate work conditions due to the lack of physical infrastructure required for the services operation, also precarious working attachments. However despite the problems, the research also identified practices that converge with the SUAS demands such as: community participation and group works with a collective and participative bias. Furthermore, it was identified some strategies to overcome problems and dilemmas through collective organization and political participation of some professionals, for example, the SUAS workers forum. / A partir da aprova??o da Pol?tica Nacional de Assist?ncia Social (PNAS) em 2004 e implementa??o do Sistema ?nico de Assist?ncia social (SUAS), o psic?logo comp?e as equipes t?cnicas dos servi?os dessa pol?tica p?blica, inaugurando oficialmente um novo campo de atua??o. Com essa inser??o, o psic?logo lida com demandas das classes populares, o que exige da psicologia, como ci?ncia e profiss?o, novas concep??es e pr?ticas que possam contribuir de forma efetiva para mudan?a social e melhoria da qualidade vida do p?blico-alvo destes servi?os. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi problematizar a inser??o e atua??o do psic?logo no SUAS, para refletir e discutir criticamente sobre as a??es, problemas e dilemas enfrentados pelo profissional nesse contexto. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa fundamentada no Materialismo Hist?rico Dial?tico, em que foram realizadas an?lises das seguintes fontes de informa??o: Refer?ncias T?cnicas do Conselho Federal de Psicologia (CFP); e Di?rios de Campo constru?dos a partir das reflex?es da pesquisadora durante a participa??o em eventos p?blicos sobre o tema (semin?rios, f?runs, debates etc.). As an?lises desses materiais explicitaram as contradi??es entre o que ? proposto pela PNAS e nas orienta??es do CFP com o que ? realizado e vivenciado pelos profissionais na pr?tica. Os resultados da pesquisa apontaram que apesar da inser??o no SUAS representar um novo espa?o de atua??o para o psic?logo, os profissionais ainda reproduzem velhas pr?ticas. Tal afirma??o deve-se ? identifica??o de a??es que mant?m a perspectiva de uma psicologia tradicional que tende a deter-se apenas aos aspectos individuais e subjetivos para a compreens?o dos problemas das pessoas. Ademais, os profissionais queixaram-se da sua forma??o e da falta de espa?o para discutir sua pr?tica, o que, muitas vezes, faz com que a repercuss?o de suas a??es n?o atinja os objetivos almejados. Al?m do problema da forma??o, que n?o atende a esse novo contexto de atua??o, o profissional ainda encontra nos servi?os do SUAS diversas outras dificuldades como por exemplo: condi??es inadequadas de trabalho devido ? falta de infraestrutura f?sica para funcionamento dos servi?os e v?nculos de trabalho precarizados. No entanto, a pesquisa identificou tamb?m pr?ticas convergentes com as demandas do SUAS como: a inser??o na comunidade e trabalhos em grupos com um vi?s mais participativo e coletivo. Foram ainda identificadas algumas estrat?gias de supera??o dos problemas e dilemas por meio da organiza??o coletiva e da participa??o pol?tica de alguns profissionais, como por exemplo, os f?runs de trabalhadores do SUAS.
