Bullying in the Classroom by Jon A Shaw in Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic & Genetic Sciences (PRJFGS) in Lupine Publishers.
Over the last decade, we have
seen a dramatic increase in violent acts perpetrated by youth (Dahlberg, 1998).
The school shootings have awakened the public, the media, community, and mental
health professionals to the endemic nature of violence in our school
population. Violence is defined as physically assaultive behavior. Aggravated
assaults by males less than 18 years of age increased by 88% from 1985-1994
while aggravated assaults by females increased by 134% in the same time period
(Dahlberg, 1998). A number of studies have documented that a child who is
aggressive in his preschool and early elementary school years is at high risk
for being a delinquent during his adolescent years.
