Description: "In the aftermath of the latest incidences of school violence, this book tackles the tough questions: How can we find out which students are potentially violent? What can we do about them? Is there an epidemic of children whose psychological problems go undetected until they erupt in violence? Are the parents really responsible? People always look for someone to blame.

Kids Killing Kids: Managing Violence and Gangs In Schools describes many of the violent situations that have occurred in the last several years, and presents methods that parents and educators can use to prevent and reduce school violence."--BOOK JACKET.
