The Crisis of School Violence: A New Perspective

Beschreibung

Based on extensive research, The Crisis of School Violence investigates human nature and its relation to aggressive behavior, with a special focus on the culture of violence that predicates school violence and perpetuates industries that profit from violence. King presents the considerable psychological and neuroscientific research that investigates the effects of violent entertainment media on the brain and, subsequently, on behavior. Ultimately this volume is a call to action that includes recommendations for parents, teachers, decision-makers, and citizens alike.
