The problem of violence in schools has not gone away despite
radical reductions in violent crimes throughout the country over
the last decade. Students continue to harrass, haze, and harm each
other in a variety of ways, disrupting classrooms and whole
schools. In the wake of the Columbine massacre, many focused on the
worst kind of school violence: deadly assaults with dangerous
weapons. But other forms of violence are more persistent, common,
and just as destructive in many ways: fighting, sexual abuse,
carrying weapons to school, vandalism, and assorted other crimes
that happen behind the closed doors of elementary, middle, and high
schools across the country. The consequences range from violent
victimization and death, to the disruption of learning and fear
among student bodies and teaching staffs. Here, Thomas provides a
foundation for understanding why the violence occurs, preventing it
from happening, and treating both offenders and victims after it
happens. Using scores of case descriptions to illustrate the types
of school violence and their treatment in recent years, the author
skillfully shows readers how the problem of violence and crime in
schools is an insidious issue that cannot go untreated. He offers
both tested and proposed methods for dealing with a host of
violence issues and a guide to planning treatment of the problem
and its associated consequences. He answers the questions: What are
prominent types of violence in American schools? What conditions
contribute to those types of violence? What methods can be applied
in an effort to reduce school violence? Readers will come away from
this book with a greater understanding of the scope of violence in
America's schools, and the myriad ways of addressing it.
