Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 6 page paper reports data on violent crime. There are four specific areas addressed. The first section discusses violence in America, in general. Next, is a discussion of violence among youth. The third topic is violence in schools and the last is violence in rural schools. The most recent data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting Program is reported as are data from other organizations and studies. Despite the horrific events at schools in the last few years, e.g., Columbine, statistics reveal that children and youth are least likely to be seriously harmed while at school. Educators at rural schools do not typically implement the same kinds of security measures that are found in urban schools but at least one study revealed more violence in rural regions than in specific urban regions. The paper includes a discussion specifically about special education students. A great deal of data are included. bibliography lists 11 sources.
