Kids Who Kill

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the growing rate of juvenile violence, including senseless murders, in the U.S.A and the rest of the world. In particular, it evaluates one current theory, which states that, although the media might contribute to the idea of violence in youngsters, the real cause might be the child's feeling of cultural isolation and lack of personal control.

From the Paper:

"A leading education expert expresses concerns about the isolation children experience when they are removed from their community to attend school and states that such isolation may be a root cause for increased violence and disassociative disorders. "Holt feels that children are not treated as if they are part of the community, that they are removed from the community for their education, and that they are not ready for it..." (Hausen 163) His observations are as a response to many years as a teacher in public schools. He believes that the challenges students face in a public school are absolutely contrary to their natural development into successful adults."
