Overview
Provides reprints of articles, excerpts from books, addresses on current issues, and studies of social trends in the US and other countries concerning violence in America's schools. The 34 contributions discuss the various types of school violence today and the perpetrators, who range from school bullies to mass murderers; the public discourse that has arisen in the wake of the school shootings, and the search for explanations; the lasting effects of mass school shootings and crime; the media's role in reporting violence, including accuracy of reports, the use of "expert" testimony, and the influence of public relations; and violence in higher education, where crimes often go unreported or are quietly squelched by administration officials.
