School Violence: This video was created as a introduction to a speech on "The Effectiveness of Violence Prevention Programs in Reducing School Violence". In the spring of 1999, the Columbine High School massacre horrified the nation and catapulted the issue of school violence into the national spotlight. Since then, school officials, parents, legislators, psychologists, and law enforcement officials have been scrambling to find solutions to this very serious problem. Many schools have implemented violence prevention programs, which target students' behaviors, attitudes, perceptions, and/or personalities in an effort to reduce aggressive tendencies and foster nonviolent responses to life difficulties. What, exactly, do such programs entail? Are they effective? A comprehensive review of the published empirical literature revealed considerable variation in program design and some evidence of program effectiveness. Surprisingly, few controlled studies have been conducted, and many have been fraught with methodological problems. The implications of these findings for researchers and policy makers are discussed.

Mm, I think guns should seriously be banned all around the world. Look at this destruction it's causing. It's like an opening for people 7 they use it to let out their anger by killing someone. Most of the kids who do these things like killing people in schools is because of either bullying, being picked on, Or having mental issues & people bullying them for it. It's horrible. We blame them for this but we really should be blaming ourselves. Silence the Violence <3
