The issue of policing schools has been widely debated across the country. As a high school student myself, I believe policing schools would be extremely beneficial and would enhance the safety of schools everywhere. The article “Does America Really Need More Cops in Schools?” by Susan Ferriss states, “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun," National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre said after a young man shot his way into his former grammar school on December 14 in Newtown, Connecticut, and killed 20 first-graders and 6 educators.” The recent attacks on schools has raised many red flags concerning the safety of students. With this being noted, it is time school officials took action in effort of halting these vicious attacks.…
School is a place where students go to learn. Every student should have the opportunity to develop problem solving skills in a non-violent environment. But, in society today, violence in schools has progressed from bloody noses to bloody gunshot wounds. Our youth is being deprived of their innocence by this violence. Our youth’s peace is being taken. Children watching children die. Parents losing their children to this violence. Unfortunately,…
Although historically violence has always seemingly plagued education systems and their schools, the last 20 years has marked the emergence of a new form of violence occurring within these institutions, one which is far more deadly and cruel. The act of an individual or multiple individuals executing what is known as a rampage school shooting dates back to as early as the mid-1970s, but truly became a recognized phenomenon in the mid-1990s due to several unprecedented and shocking occurrences of these attacks (Rocque, 2012; Muschert, 2007; Wike & Fraser, 2009).…
What is school violence? Many describe school violence as any form of violence projected on an individual within school premises. Within the decade’s school violence has become more and more common in our society and has even lead to mass shootings. Most shooters are seen as outcasts by their peers and feel excluded. In our course textbook, Understanding Violence and Victimization cites that violence has increased dramatically within the past decade (Meadows, 2013). Meadows then discusses some risk factors of school violence such as factors referred to as character risk, undeveloped mental abilities, presence of early aggressive behaviors, family relationship and influences, exposure to violence and victimization, role of media and its impact on violence, general influence of our culture, are risk factor in schools (Meadows, 2013). We need to take…
In this day and age, more children are being subject to violence through a variety of sources and medium. For example, video games such as Mortal Combat, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Call of Duty and one of my favorites only because I like military aircraft, Air Combat, have a lot of graphic detail, abusive language, violent themes and emphasis on just one goal, killing & murder. These children do go to school, yet the significance isn’t on getting a decent education. Today it’s more along the lines of “How tough do I believe I am to get respected?” or, “I’m in a bad mood today and I’ll take it out on school!” A teacher’s main job is to teach those students who want to learn. The teacher’s safety should not be threatened or jeopardized by the so called violent video gamer enthusiast who’s looking for a thrill. I for one still have a desire to become a teacher, yet with the ongoing violence and disturbing attitudes of some students in all levels of education, it’s a wonder that I would still pursue an occupation in teaching even in the event that I would arm myself for self-defense purposes in a learning environment.…
It is a lot of crime and violence in schools today. Having crime and violence in schools fear students and it can disrupt their willingness to learn. As you read on, you will learn more about what we can discover from students about crime and violence in their schools and their fear of violence in the schools. Also I will discuss the value of security measures in controlling school violence and is it too much.…
Columbine, Sandy Hook, Phoebe Prince are names that embody modern-day issues school administrators face and are trying to address. Because of the public outcry and publicity surrounding these events, educators are scrambling for and implementing programs that moderate mental health issues, reduce bullying, and improve academic outcomes. However, these programs are prone to failure because they do not take a holistic approach to the cause of these difficulties. As an alternative, traditional martial arts training can be an efficient and proactive tool to address the origin of these problems. Contrary to movie portrayals in which martial artists are sometimes depicted as violent, aggressive criminals; traditional martial artists base their training…
In actuality, school brutality insights demonstrate that couple of understudies are executed at school, however every case of a school shooting is a disaster that influences whole groups and even whatever is left of the country and the world. Understudies are a great deal more probable, be that as it may, to be the casualties of different sorts of school roughness that are not deadly, but rather can have enduring negative consequences for understudies and their instructive experience. Indeed, even non-physical types of youngster brutality like harassing can have genuine outcomes. The administration tracks occurrences of school viciousness and reports them in the Indicators of School Crime and Safety reports, where the majority of these figures originated from fierce wrongdoings at school. Genuine rough violations at school hit a crest in the 1990s, when a progression of school shootings and copycat shootings killed a moderately expansive number of understudies. In the 2006-2007 school year there were 27 crimes and 8 suicides that occurred at school. These school roughness insights levels with one demise at school for each 1.6 million understudies. In the same time period, nonetheless, there were 1.7 million nonfatal wrongdoings submitted at school, running from ambush to burglary. These school viciousness insights show 46 violations for every 1,000…
Although overall school violence is declining in America, mass shootings in suburban and rural areas are becoming more common ("School" par 1). On April 20, 1999 Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold decided to bring firearms and explosives to Columbine High School to go on a shooting rampage. These two boys, before killing themselves, killed 12 students, one teacher, and wounded 24 others. The cause of this Massacre was violence at the school place, Harris and Klebold were bullied as students and no action was taken when they started talking about killing people or physically hurting people. At the beginning of the school year teachers should give students talks about violence and school shootings. Teachers should tell students that violence is not a joke and it needs to be taken as a serious offence, whether there is going to be a fight at…

There are several theoretical explanations to why school violence is reported today more frequently than before. According to institutional explanations of school disorder, school climate is an explanation to the causes of school violence. The climate of a school includes the unwritten beliefs, values, and attitudes that become the style of interaction between students, teachers, and administrators. School climate sets the parameters of acceptable behavior among all school actors, and it assigns individual and institutional responsibility for school safety. School climates includes factors such as communication patterns and norms about what constitutes appropriate behavior (Welsh W. , 2000). School with violence problems tend to have unclear and unfair rules that are inconsistently enforced and schools where students perceive greater fairness and clarity of the rules have less violence and student victimization. In my opinion this means that a school who has better communication and understanding of the school rules and behaviors are less likely to experience victimization. I believe this to be true to an extent but I also believe there could be more than just the school setting that causes violence. Institutional explanations are not the only explanations that try to explain why violence occur…
School environments can be improved if efforts are contributed by administrators, parents, community members, and students. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conclude that there are three different levels of strategies that must be utilized in order to properly prevent violence in schools. “No one factor in isolation causes school violence, so stopping school violence involves using multiple prevention strategies that address the many individual, relationship, community, and societal factors that influence the likelihood of violence. ” Individual level strategies include focussing on emotional self-awareness, positive social skills, and conflict resolution in students.…
As long as governments exist, there will always be crime for them to combat. A portion of this crime is, and will continue to be, organized crime. The United States is constantly working to protect its citizens from transnational criminal alliances, but the streets of this nation are still being crippled by domestic organizations. The 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment declares, “Gangs are expanding, evolving, and posing an increasing threat to U.S. communities nationwide.” One of the most frightening and overwhelming atrocities in this country is the fact that a great deal of the gang-related violence suffered is being delivered by the nation’s…
We have come to a point where everyone feels unsafe and unsecure because of the countless acts of violence that are happening in our society. There had been so many people in the past who died, who became victims, who were injured, and who suffered because of other people’s violent behaviors. When we open the television, we see people killing, murdering and abusing other individuals or group of people. We see all the news headlines in newspapers screaming about the unending conflicts between nations and unimaginable crimes that are happening in every part of the world. As of today, violence is doubtlessly widespread and this has been one of the issues that our society is still struggling to find for solutions. We might recognize the fact that almost all of us have good morals and values, and have good intentions but we can not deny that people are also capable of the most offensive and menacing behavior. But we always ask ourselves, do we get something good out of acting violently? Many of us object on the spread of violence because for the obvious reason that imposing pain into a person, making him suffer or lose his life is an immoral act. We might also need to acknowledge the fact that people have their own reasons and intentions for acting violently, but is it worth it? Is violence necessary to solve every conflict? Is violence really necessary that most of the people have been engaging themselves with these all sort of obnoxious behaviors? Violence is not necessary especially in situations where violence is not used for a good cause and there are also other ways to compromise a dispute, but there are also extreme situations where violence is necessary especially when we are protecting our lives or other people’s lives from evil people.…
Adolescent violence has been an on-going problem in the United States. There are many factors that contribute to violent behavior in adolescents. One contributing element to this problem is video games. However, violent video games are not the primary cause of violence in adolescents.…
