I also found this source from the same subscription database as source #5. The article discussed school violence. In the recent years, parents of students have been concerned because of the high profile violent bullying cases. In an effort to avoid any violence at all, there have been several changes in school policies. First of all, there is a zero tolerance policy on all weapons at schools. If any student is found carrying a weapon on school property, they will be expelled. There has also been evidence that reveals that bullying is related to several incidents of violence at school. The site shared that research has concluded that bullying is a cause of some of the recent examples of school violence. The United States Secret Service created a "profile" of school shooters and found that around 2/3 of the shooters have been victims of bullying. This link between bullying and violence allowed school administrators to identify the nature and degree of bullying at their schools, ultimately to create anti-bullying programs. While it is unclear whether or not any of these efforts will help reduce violence, it is significant that they are making an effort to help school be a safe place for everyone.
