EDIC 591A 616 Workshop: School Violence Prevention
Colorado State University, Fort Collins
3-unit graduate course, online
This three-credit graduate course investigates and critiques current approaches to school violence
prevention and points out their limitations and why most do not work. The course readings
present theories and research about the causes of school violence and the role of the culture of
violence and the violence industries. Interdisciplinary research is presented, including
neuroscientific research about how the brain responds to violent electronic entertainment media,
especially violent video games. Practical and workable solutions, as well as resources, are
included that help to create peaceful classrooms and peaceful schools.
