...Theresa Sidders Intro to Criminology 02/29/2012 The School Shooter Perspective Threat Assessment In July of 1999 a symposium in Leesburg, VA was held to present a systematic procedure for the threat assessment and intervention of violence in our schools. The results from a 1998 study done by the FBI’s National Center for Analysis of Violent Crime are being used to formulate concepts and principles to address and prevent school shootings. In this study, eighteen school shootings were reviewed and the combined information is being used to bring better knowledge of the behavioral prospective of the shooters. Although it is almost impossible to “profile” a shooter, there are some situations that are similar in the separate cases. Instead of focusing on the misinformation that is given by the media about the shooters, i.e. that all the school shooters tend to be loners, or that they are all motivated by revenge, this symposium is focused on what possible types of behaviors, family and social backgrounds that may play a part in these individuals lives that the schools can be made aware of ahead of time in order to prevent any further school shootings from happening. Understanding that a threat, is an expression of intent to cause harm or act out violently against someone or something. This can be done verbally, in writing or by using symbols, for example, using one’s hands to form of a gun. After a threat is made it is necessary to determine what category the...

Consequently, this action prepares the students to become more responsible for entering university. When you study in high school, everything...

...forgot the usefulness of books and how it is more informative and accurate than statements found in the net. Students do not also bother to read their assignments and just copy and paste and lose the knowledge or information they can get through reading. A library is not just a library. If we look at it beneath what we see and what we believe, we will find it as a place of delight. It is a place where we can venture without going from places to places. We can travel only by reading different books; we can enter the world of fantasy, come back to history, travel to space and visit the future. Library is also a place where nations can unite. We get to know other’s culture, beliefs and even their way of living. Library is another form of schoo, we do not only learn knowledge, broaden our vocabulary but also gives us different perspectives of things. In the library we found books. Books of different category and thickness. The information in books helps people to understand the society and people...

...Chapter 1: The Romantic Egotist Amory Blaine inherited every trait from his mom Beatrice. Didn’t really have a father that was there for him and so he traveled around the world with his mom. Amory was born in 1896. Fourth to his 10 years old he traveled with his mom around the country. Between 10-11 he was well educated for a fine taste in music because of his upbringing from his mom. Felt he was sophisticated and quite charming and she knew he was delicate. The Blaine’s were constantly on the go and knew people around the world. Amory now 13 rather tall and slender and on to his Celtic mother. Amory ruptured his spleen on his way to Italy, his appendic had burst and they returned back to America. Beatirce was sick and Amory went to Minneapolis to spend time with his autn and uncle for two years. Felt particularly superior he felt to himself to be in front of the other guys at school and this may have been due to his upbringing with his mom. He excelled at items he wasn’t good at such as athletics so you could show his power and earn popularity at school. A key place was the cozy fire was burning before a big sink-down couch which would eventually be a great stage for Amory a cradle for many an emotional crisis. Where he kissed Myra for the first kiss which ended up turning disastrous.

...No Child Left Behind Luisa Villalba EDU623 Professor Smith November 5, 2012 The No Child Left Behind act was put in place to help better educate America’s youth. The NCLB act shines light on our education system, and how our focus needs to be on educating our children. Explore what the NCLB act was intended to do its pros and cons, and President Obama’s fight to reform NCLB. In 2001 President George W. Bush proposed a federal law known as The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). The law supports several federal programs intended to improve U.S. schools by raising the standards of responsibility for school districts, schools, and states. The law also allows room for parents to choose the schools they would like their children to attend. The NCLB act concentrates on increasing reading, and math sores nationwide. The objective of the NCLB act is that all students meet state guidelines set in hopes of students reaching their full academic potential. Funding for the NCLB act is divided into quite a few sections, or titles. For example * Title I, Part A focuses on obtaining resources for disadvantaged students. This is done by providing funding to bring qualified educators into the classroom. * Title 1, Part D ensures that children who are found to delinquent, or neglected receive quality education while in detention centers, or institutions. * Title II, Part A concentrates on bettering the quality of teachers, and principals. This title...

The stories we h ear cau se co nsiderab le alarm in parents and teach ers. Teach ers, paren t s, and students b e lieve that you ng people have the right to feel safe, s ecure, accep ted, and valued at school. Creating this atm o sphere has becom e a challenge. Sheras, (2002) reported every two seconds of every schoo l day, acco rding to th e National Education Association, another stude nt is physically attacked in school. A typical schoolchild has a nearly 25 percen t chance of being involved in bullying on school grounds, teasing or taunting on th e bus, sexual harassm e nt, “fla m i ng” on the internet, and beatings or ga ng activity (Sheras, 2002). Parents, teachers, and even leg i sl ators have responded to th e acts of vio l ence occurring in the schools. In a few states legislators have even introdu ced n e w laws cracking down on harassm e nt, hazing, and violen ce in schools (Sheras, 2002).

...Joanne Arel 11530131 Assignment 4 Prevention of Bullying As we know, prevention on bullying is an ongoing process that we, as educators, must continually work on. Often, children who are labeled as ‘bullies’ are misunderstood by their peers and adults. They tend to be the victim in other areas of their lives. It is necessary for us as responsible adults to understand how these behaviors that the bullies exhibit develop, so that we can work to not just ‘punish’ but rehabilitate and heal. I feel this is the area in which I have excelled. I have a zero-tolerance policy, teach the steps of problem-solving, have classroom expectations, and praise/reinforce good behaviors demonstrated by bullies. The one thing I think would be a good idea would be to have a written contract and to contact parents more based on positive behavior. Prevention of Victimization The effects of bullying can be traumatizing to children (the victims), and can often lead into their adult lives. This trauma can be seen firsthand in tragic events that have happened in our country. Some events, like Columbine, Matthew Shepard, etc. get a lot of media coverage, while others do not. I have learned, and witnessed through my own teaching experience, that the victims often are the ‘forgotten group’, not the very popular or very unpopular kids. As educators, we so frequently give our attention to the bully, when the victim needs our support just as much, if not more. Victims, by definition are the...

...Over the board, middle class students generally do better than working class students in educational achievement. Some sociologists argue that this is due to three key factors. Labelling, subcultures and marketisation. This focuses on things that occur internally. One of these key factors is labelling. To label someone is to attach a meaning or definition to someone. An example of this would be that teachers often apply labels to students on the basis of their behaviour or appearance. Becker found some evidence behind this after he did some research on high school teachers. He found they would label students according to how closely they fitted the image of the, “ideal pupil.” Pupils work conduct and appearance were the key factors in influencing their judgement. Cicourel and Kitsuse also found some evidence when studying counsellors. They found inconsistencies in the way in which students suitability for courses were assessed. The councellors said they judged students according to their ability. In practise however they judged them on the basis of social class or race. Middle class students were more likely to be placed on higher level courses and seen as suitable college material. Following on from this labelling theory, Rist did some research and found that teachers used a range of methods to place students in separate groups and this had implications in terms of access to knowledge and achievement. Each pupil was streamed into a different group. Streaming is when a...
