The book was writen with the aim to explain the cultural and psychological underpinnings of violence among youth; to assess the effect of programs already adopted by schools; and to galvanize professional educators and the public to act on their outrage by adopting a whole-school approach to preventing violence, an approach that will involve communities as well as schools in addressing the problem.
The authors of this book believe that the outrage about violence in schools was long overdue and the review of the sistem itself is required. The use of guns, while the most lethal, is still the least likely form of violence in schools, but violence through bullying, extortion, name calling, sexual harassment, and suicide are prevalent nationally.
