Talk:School violence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I know this isn't good Wikipedia, but the topic is an urgent one, the content I posted is PD, it's an executive summary, and may serve as a point of departure for the next draft. Here is the DOJ page for the full report: Indicators of School Crime and Safety, 2004 --68.227.221.254 07:21, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Maybe this should be over at Wikisource or something? If it's just excerpts from a report, I don't really know if it meets Wikipedia's article requirements. But maybe I'm wrong. -- Dpark 17:06, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think that the article should focus more on school violence itself rather than the statistics. I also think the article is too U.S. specific (because of the statistics).--84.26.109.69 15:59, 20 January 2006.

I agree completely. Also see the policy on Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Added {{wikify}} in the mean time; I think this is a good candidate for Wikipedia:Article Improvement Drive. GChriss 06:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nonfatal Student Victimization—Student Reports. Where?

Does anybody know any sources to this, or if it refers to American or international reports?

[edit] Ambiguous and not helpful

No one really wants any of this to happen and someone had to stand up for it. Parents need to talk to their kids and ask them what is going on in their life and ask them why they are doing that to kinds that have not done anything to them. The cause of most tof this school violence is coming from home and stuff that is happening there.

Those statements are vague, and are in the current revision of the article. We could disagree and say that people do want it to happen, else it would not happen in the first place. Obviously, these incidents of violence are occuring, and saying that nobody wants it to happen is not going to make it go away. "The cause of most of this school violence is coming from home and stuff that is happening there", no. Let's try something along the lines of reporting about studies of children that talk with their parents versus those who do not, or some other studies that identifies factors more specifically than "stuff". Remember, this is an encyclopedia and not a blog.Eferybody don't have to be around that person or like them they will do anything in the dark. --kanzure 19:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blatant Copyright violation

This whole article appears to have been copied directly from the DOJ link posted in the first comment on this page, quoting statistics is one thing but it appears to have been copied verbatim. This is definitely a topic worthy of an article, but if nothing is done to improve it it'll have to be deleted. --D Elkington 11:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
