Anyway...violence in schools or colleges hasnt receded in recent times. Like Urge just pointed out, "knifing" or "taking out" incidents are on the rise, actually. Most schools or colleges in the suburban areas are witnessing such kind of incidents at an alarming rate.

Does the gun control rule make a student rebellious? Like for example, "they want to get strict with ME...I ll show em what strict is!" - kind of attitude.
College is still school so my answer still stands. I disagree with violence in school being on the rise.


VIOLENCE IN US SCHOOLS



Rate Per 1,000 Students Ages 12-18


Unfortunately I don't have the most current info but if anybody does let me know.
