School violence is an egregiously grim subject matter; that has managed to most recently steal the center stages of Mass-Media in the United States of America. Just this past decade, there has been a marked-up swing, in not only the frequency of school violence, but also in the severity of each subsequent attack.

The local, state, and federal communities must all bind their monetary, social, and political forces together; before we will be able to begin the painstaking process of rectifying the horrendous matriculation of school violence.
