Term Papers on Weapons in Schools

Order a term paper on data published in The Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics, which shows that the proportion of students reporting being threatened or injured by a weapon at school was actually lower in 1996 than in 1976, and violence-related injuries are rarely suffered at school compared to elsewhere. A 1997 Department of Justice survey of over a million violence-related emergency room admissions recorded that 6% occurred at a school, while 48% were incurred at home, 29% at work and 15% were received on the street. In 1998, schools were safer relative places to be than homes, workplaces, or the street. The perception that violence, especially lethal violence, is widespread or presents a realistic threat to students in most schools does not agree with data on school violence. Schools remain one of the safest places for children to be, and extreme measures are not called for in order to counter school violence.

                Two reports by the Justice Policy Institute, one from 1998 and one from 1999 (released in 2000), suggest that school violence has been greatly exaggerated in the context of the overall violence that children are subjected to elsewhere in their lives through bullying, and the authors suggest that ill-conceived legislation and school policies based on reactions rather than on research are detrimental to children. Their papers serve as an introduction to research on the causes of school violence, and reiterate the necessity for rationally evaluating programs and implementing proven methods to reduce school violence.
