Instead of fear-inducing statistics and frightening headlines, this book takes an evenhanded, enlightening look at the problem of, and possible solutions for, school violence. The text provides various strategies for circumventing teen problems before they erupt into violence. For students doing research, the book offers succinct summaries of incidents of school violence dating back to the 1920s, and it includes an overview of the Columbine tragedy, focusing on what led to the incident rather than the gruesome details of the incident itself. Every chapter includes "thoughts to ponder" for individual consideration or group discussion. Several sections highlight both established and new approaches that schools are taking not only to deal with violence but also to address the more pervasive concern of teen isolation and the need for young people to feel valued and accepted wherever and whoever they are. For sociology research and for schools seeking proactive ideas for creating safe and inclusive campuses, this is an excellent resource. Includes contact information for schools and organizations mentioned in the text.
