The 15 essays in this volume address school violence and disturbance in American K-12 education. Criminal justice and other scholars mainly from the US discuss the history of school violence and armed police officers; the impact of mass incarceration and social issues on the propensity to commit violent acts; current issues, such as cyberbullying and the politicization of school shootings and racial dis-proportionality in school discipline; individual groups and offenders, including the characteristics and typologies of perpetrators, the impact of LGBTQ lifestyles, and mentally ill perpetrators; the impact of zero tolerance policies, alternative models, racial disparities in expulsions, and the rights of students; and possible solutions, including addressing bullying and delinquency prevention.
