It has been more than a decade since the Columbine High School massacre shocked the world—yet it is only recently that early assumptions about the event have given way to a clearer idea of why it happened. Meanwhile, the 2007 shootings at Virginia Tech University, as well as estimates that 20–30 percent of students will endure an abusive relationship, make it clear that the problem of school crime isn't going away.
Laura L. Finley is assistant professor of sociology and criminology at Barry University, Miami Shores, FL.
