A major issue in the United States is gun control. Due to multiple mass shootings in schools and public areas, restrictions regarding guns have been implemented across the United States. Andrew Parks, a student at The University of Alabama, wrote an article against gun restrictions. His article, “The University should allow concealed carry,” supports the idea of college campuses like The University of Alabama, allowing students to conceal carry firearms. In an article written by Jennie Kushner, the
States that permit citizens to carry guns in public places are misguided. In 2016, the Georgia General Assembly followed in the footsteps of eight other states and passed a law allowing college students to carry guns on campus as long as it is out of view (Torres, 2016). Colleges and universities are places of higher learning and this measure gets in the way of this purpose. This law does not build an environment based on understanding and respect, which are factors crucial for learning to occur
likelihood of a mass shooter doing significant damage and making it out alive decreases dramatically when more trained gun carriers are present. “Fundamental to successful deterrence is creating uncertainty in the mind of an attacker so he doubts his ability to succeed” (Fitzgerald, 2013).This is common sense, and it will make schools a lesser target for mass shootings thus, decreasing a risk that most will not take. The fear of getting caught is one of the major factors that would contribute to scaring
Introduction Throughout the 1990s crime and violence within schools had significantly increased. The increasing presence of school shootings became a great cause for concern for parents, students, and school staff. To respond to this significantly increasing problem within schools, local police departments partnered with schools to implement school resource officers onto campuses to promote safety within schools. The research question ‘How does the presence of security enforcement in schools affect
endorsed them in his 1996 State of the Union address. After this speech, the U.S. Department of Education disseminated the Manual of School Uniforms to all 16,000 school districts in the nation. The manual stated potential benefits, such as decreasing violence and theft, preventing students from wearing gang-related colors to school, instilling student discipline, helping to resist peer pressure, helping students concentrate on academics and aiding in recognition of intruders.It is estimated that
Do you go to a school with dress code? If not, would you want a dress code? How does a dress code make you feel? Those are questions that can rise because of a uniform/dress code in school. Dress code has been around for such a long time and it has changed a lot. Dress codes are present in many schools while some students enjoy it, some hate it, and some students don’t care, the hatred can lead to not being able to express yourselves, while the enjoyment can be because of everyone being alike so
a means to severely punish those involved in drugs according to researcher Dr. Karen Walker. From there, according to Walker, zero tolerance found its way into schools with the passage of the Federal Gun-Free Schools of 1994. This act declared that anyone who brought a firearm onto a school campus would be expelled from school and turned over to the authorities. Walker tells us that “following Columbine in 1999, zero tolerance policies were expanded to include: •

increased dropouts. She goes on to tell us that there is little evidence to show that suspensions actually improve student behavior (Walker, 2009). Researcher Torbin McAndrews recognizes the negatives of zero tolerance policies and explains that effective zero tolerance policies must “specify consequences; allow flexibility; consider alternatives to expulsion; clearly define weapons, drugs, and inappropriate acts; involve the collaboration of all stakeholders; build on lessons from early programs;
