Abstract

The recent killings of children and teachers at schools in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Littleton, Colorado, and elsewhere have caused a clamor of diagnoses and denunciations over the origins of school violence and our national violence. Drugs, guns, parents, schools, television and video games are blamed. Even children are condemned, and a cry has arisen to prosecute youth as adult criminals. From President Clinton, who declared that “killing is wrong,” to the general citizen, the nation is aroused over the violence.
