Description

This well-researched, comprehensive volume not only makes readers aware of the problem, but it also offers a look at strategies to eliminate and prevent school violence. The author covers national opinion on the subject, various theories of violence, risk factors, the availability of weapons to young people, and educational reform, as well as state and federal legislation. Also included are biographical sketches of individuals who have studied or worked to abolish violence in schools; a chronology of events associated with the topic; revealing statistics; and annotated lists of print and nonprint resources for further study. Anyone interested in the psychology of the problem or in formulating prescriptions for prevention will find this book both intriguing and informative.
