School Shootings and School Violence: A Hot Issue

64 pp. | Enslow | October, 2002 | Library ISBN 0-7660-1813-X $$19.95
(4) YA Hot Issues series. This straightforward, well-organized look at school violence discusses possible causes and both successful and controversial methods of reducing it (e.g., having school bullies watch autopsies). Readers will appreciate the book's overall lack of hysteria--Cruz even lets Marilyn Manson defend himself--but they may also feel insulted by the staged, melodramatic color photos, as of a gun, a beer, and a joint on a windowsill. Bib., ind.
