Volume Number October 2002 Pages 89-90 The World in the Classroom The Shrink in the Classroom / Fighting School Violence Steven C. Schlozman Although educators and policymakers have been grappling with the issue of violence in schools for decades, a spate of horrific in-school homicides has catapulted violent behavior in schools to public attention. Educators, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, political scientists, anthropologists, and sociologists have all weighed in on the possible causes. Sifting through the theories can be overwhelming, and implementing effective violence prevention programs is often frustrating. No wonder, then, that teachers and administrators often feel defeated when they confront the dangerously aggressive behavior of some pupils. Nonetheless, many students and teachers continue to feel unsafe in their classrooms and hallways. The media sensation that follows massacres like the one at Columbine may obscure the everyday sense of threat and unease that continues to plague students in rural, suburban, and urban environments. Attempts to prevent and curtail violence must address all aspects of the problem. Psychiatric Causes The diagnosis of any of these conditions does not constitute a prediction of violent behavior. In fact, the psychiatric prediction of violence in any setting is difficult, and we should not make assumptions about any student without conducting a careful and thorough evaluation.

8th in series Reducing and Preventing Youth Violence : An Analysis of Causes and an Assessment of Successful Programs Creating a Real Alternative for Troubled Youth by Pedro Noguera Berkeley, California Dr. Pedro Noguera is a professor of education at the University of California, Berkeley. He is also past president of the Berkeley School Board. His in depth analysis of the causes of and assessment of succesful programs for reducing and preventing youth violence is published here by In Motion Magazine as a series of hyper-linked articles which can be downloaded in segments. All sections can be reached from the intro page , or readers can follow from one section to another. Case Study III Creating a Real Alternative for Troubled Youth Prepackaged freebase or crack cocaine, known as "rock" on the West Coast, began to appear on the streets of Berkeley in the early 1980s. Concentrated in the predominantly Black neighborhoods of South and West Berkeley, the advent of crack cocaine brought with it a substantial increase in violent crime and social upheaval. Young people featured prominently in drug trafficking activities, serving both as street-level dealers and security for the protection of turf. Minors were particularly well suited for this trade because if apprehended by the police, they could avoid the stiffer penalties reserved for adults. The absence of more established gangs in Berkeley also created conditions that were favorable to aspiring young drug dealers. With considerable profits available for those willing to take the risk, many young people in Berkeley became involved with the drug trade, and consequently there was soon a significant increase in the number of youth arrested for drug related and violent crimes during the period from 1984 to 1988.

Criminal Justice studies both the nature, causes, and effects of norm-violating behavior, and the reactions of individuals, groups, and society to such violations. Methods of regulating behavior, such as the formal criminal justice system or less formal practices of dispute management, are studied and evaluated as agents of change which contribute to the development of society. Criminal justice is multidisciplinary, drawing on broad fields of knowledge, including law, the social and behavioral sciences, the humanities, and the natural sciences. The department offers courses from a wide variety of perspectives, taught by faculty trained in fields as diverse as anthropology, criminology, geography, history, law, political science, psychology, and sociology. A major in criminal justice provides an excellent liberal arts background for a wide variety of career fields, as well as for graduate study, law school, and other professional schools. In addition, many of our graduates have found the program to be a useful, solid foundation for careers in business.

Volume 3, Number 1 THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF CHILDREN'S POVERTY The research presented in this report shows that children's poverty in our state has increased during this decade. This report discusses the causes for this increase, as well as the serious long-term consequences of childhood poverty, and recommends specific constructive and cost-effective approaches for prevention and treatment to which North Carolinians should give close consideration. While prevention and treatment are not novel concepts, this report provides the empirical, sociological documentation underlying the need for programs to save both money and children. The heart of current legislative debate over Smart Start, for enhancement of the Guardian ad Litem Program, and intervention and treatment programs for mental health services and substance abuse programs is about effective and cost-saving policy investments in children's well-being. The central, although rarely articulated, policy problem is how North Carolina can ensure that children have the resources to grow up to be healthy and productive citizens.

Shortcuts on this page: Terminology History Motives Policy Criminology is an advanced, theoretical field of study. It can be defined as the study of crime, the causes of crime (etiology), the meaning of crime in terms of law, and community reaction to crime. Not too long ago, Criminology separated from its mother discipline, Sociology, and although there are some historical continuities, it has since developed habits and methods of thinking about crime and criminal behavior that are uniquely its own. Theory is a complex subject in its own right. Criminological theory is no exception; it also tends to be complex. Some definitions of terms might help to understand the field: Criminology - the science of crime rates, individual and group reasons for committing crime, and community or societal reactions to crime. Criminologist - a person who studies criminology; not to be confused with a " criminalist " who reconstructs a crime scene or works with crime scene evidence for forensic purposes. Applied criminology - the art of creating typologies, classifications, predictions, and especially profiles of criminal offenders.
