The most general arguments appear in the first section, which debates whether violence is a serious problem. Subsequent sections are more specific and compelling: Is brain damage a factor? How do race and drugs enter into the mix? A section exploring youth violence moves into more predictable territory with stabs at the media, parenting, and American culture in general. Perhaps most useful for research assignments is section four, which considers gun control laws, zero-tolerance policies, and hate-crime legislation. The resource covers a lot of ground, and its extensive cross references will prove useful for assignments on a variety of social issues. Part of the Opposing Viewpoints series |
