As incidents of violence in and around schools make news headlines with disturbing frequency, school violence continues to be one of the most hotly debated topics in America. Public discussion often focuses on questions that have no easy answers: What causes school violence? [+/-]
What can be done to prevent violence in schools? What makes schools safe? Some experts believe the large size of many modern schools is to blame, while others claim that bullying, low self-esteem, social isolation, and pressure to conform are all contributors to outbreaks of school violence. To maintain an environment that allows students to learn in a safe setting, some schools are turning to increased campus security. Others are exploring alternative prevention strategies that encourage individual responsibility, such as youth leadership programs and mentoring. These ideas, along with many other aspects of the school violence issue, are addressed in this volume.
