| With an increased public awareness and concern about violence in our secondary and elementary school systems, education professionals, citizens and legislators are suggesting numerous methods to control or end this phenomena. These suggestions appear to fall within the following categories: stricter policies for students, increased school security, interpersonal skills and education for students and techers, fundamental changes in school organization, and changes in state and local laws. This paper will focus on a review and comparison of the fifth category, legislative responses aimed at controlling school violence. |
