"Since 2009, there have been 288 school shootings in the United States. This is an alarming statistic for one of the safest, richest, and most powerful countries in the world. Whenever one of these senseless tragedies occurs, activists and political leaders attempt to push their agendas, calling for stricter gun control, or tighter security, or even for arming teachers. This valuable resource, containing diverse viewpoints written by authoritative voices, explores why school shootings seem to be an epidemic, their potential causes, and what can be done to stop them"-- Provided by publisher.
