Abstract
In the last 20 years, American public schools have witnessed a drastic increase in the level and severity of school violence. Incidents such as those that took place in Columbine have become more prevalent in schools all across the country. When it comes to school violence, no population or community is immune. Although most educational leaders have taken broad steps to reduce the threat that this violence poses to the student body-such as increasing campus security and installing metal detectors-few administrators and educators have addressed the specific issues that perpetuate the precipitation of violence in the school. For instance, investigators examining the Columbine incident have noted that the individuals behind the crime were bullied by many of the students that they wantonly killed. With this in mind, one cannot help but wonder if the Columbine massacre would have occurred had educators and administrators dealt with the issue of bullying, rather than letting this situation fester.
