Description
These school shooting tragedies appear to be the spontaneous acts of troubled, disconnected teens, but this important book argues that the roots of violence are deeply entwined in the communities themselves.
Rampage challenges the “loner theory” of school violence, and shows why so many adults and students miss the warning signs that could prevent it.
In a powerful and original analysis, the author demonstrates that the organizational structure of schools “loses” information about troubled kids, and the very closeness of these small rural towns restrained neighbors and friends from communicating what they knew about their problems.
Her conclusions shed light on the ties that bind in small-town America. (Amazon)
