“…Also of concern are the findings that adolescent problem and criminal behaviors are related to future adult illegal behaviors (Loeber & Hay, 1997;Sampson & Laub, 1990). Furthermore, compared to all other age groups, children and adolescents are most likely to be the victims of crimes (Furlong & Morrison, 2000 Moreover, there appears to be a general theme of youth violence being related to feelings of distress, anger, hopelessness, and shame from youth witnessing or experiencing violence (Martinez & Richters, 1993; Ludwig & Warrn, 2009;Osofsky, Werers, Hann, & Fick, 1993 An additional concern of youth exposure to community violence tends to be a resulting cycle of violence where the victims become the perpetrators (Osofsky et al, 1993).

“…Furlong and Morrison (2000) asserted there is a crucial need for future research on youth violence to move beyond simple associations and consider specific contexts and potential precursors that may lead to violent behaviors. Similarly, Hoagwood (2000) emphasized the importance of considering extra-individual and transactual factors (e.g., social settings, social networks) as being the most logical approach to understanding youth violence.…”

Results did not support school connectedness as a moderator; however, results did support school connectedness as a mediator between school size and youth violence. Although no direct relationship was found between school size and youth violence, there was a significant inverse relationship between school size and school connectedness and a significant inverse relationship between school connectedness and youth violence. These findings highlight the importance of how the quality of individual student-school personnel relationships can play a role in preventing violence both within and outside of the school setting. Furthermore, increasing school student population appears to vii play a role in creating challenges in the development of quality relationships between students and school personnel, which in turn impedes prevention of youth violence. In addition to contributing to the literature on preventing youth violence, this study also underscores the need for future research to take caution in research design and measurement with Add Health data, and further exploration in alternative contextual relationships that may prevent youth violence. Introduction and Literature Review Youth ViolenceViolence in some form has always existed in our schools and communities, but the highly publicized shootings in the 1990s, such as Littleton, Colorado, Jonesboro, Arkansas, and Paducah, Kentucky received extensive media attention resulting in an increase in public awareness and concern (Modzeleski et al., 2008). In 2001, the Surgeon General released a report in order to designate youth violence as a public health concern in the United States (U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001). Although this report showed that youth violence was less lethal than it was in 1993, violent behaviors involving adolescents showed trends of increasing. In fact, violent crimes committed by adolescents have dramatically increased (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1999) to the point that this population commits more violent crimes than any other age group (Pastore & Maguire, 2002). Also of concern are the findings that adolescent problem and criminal behaviors are related to future adult illegal behaviors (Loeber & Hay, 1997;Sampson & Laub, 1990). Furthermore, compared to all other age groups, children and adolescents are most likely to be the victims of crimes (Furlong & Morrison, 2000 Moreover, there appears to be a general theme of youth violence being related to feelings of distress, anger, hopelessness, and shame from youth witnessing or experiencing violence (Martinez & Richters, 1993; Ludwig & Warrn, 2009;Osofsky, Werers, Hann, & Fick, 1993 An additional concern of youth exposure to community violence tends to be a resulting cycle of violence where the victims become the perpetrators (Osofsky et al., 1993). Brookmeyer, Fanti, and Henrich (2006) in their analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health (Add Health)found that simply being exposed to violence is a significant predictor of...

School violence is one of the most important problems threatening physical and mental health of people in Turkey as well .The main purpose of this study is to analyze school violence as reflected in the print media between the years of 2005 and 2010. It aims to explore the dynamics of and reasons behind school violence. Besides, the context for school violence is also examined. In this study, national newspapers, namely Hürriyet, Cumhuriyet, Zaman and Sabah published between the years of 2005 and 2010 were scanned to detect news on school violence and detected news was content analyzed. Findings revealed that violence occurred mostly in primary schools between teachers and students. Also, news on school violence was mostly published in Hürriyet, but at least in Cumhuriyet.Keywords: school violence, case study, teacher, student Extended AbstractPurpose and Significance: School violence is one of the most important problems threatening physical and mental health of people in Turkey as well. It is terribly increasing at a high speed. It is necessary to take this growing violence under control at proper time. Otherwise, it will go out of hands. Violence refers to immediate or chronic situations that result in injury to the psychological, social or physical well-being of individuals or groups. The level of children's exposure to community violence or media violence may vary. However, the psychological and behavioral risks that are associated with children's exposure to these types of violence are remarkably similar. The main purpose of this study is to analyze school violence as reflected in the print media between the years of 2005 and 2010. It aims to explore the dynamics of and reasons behind school violence. Besides, the context for school violence is also examined.The following research questions were addressed based on those purposes: 5. What is the range of news in newspapers according to formal education levels?

“…It did not transpire during the telephone conversation between the first author of this article and a departmental spokesperson about the correlation between incidences of violence and number of learners and whether a distinction can be drawn between different types of violent behaviour. Benbenishty and Astor (2008), as well as Furlong and Morrison (2000) also place the school at the centre with regard to violence at schools. According to Furlong and Morrison (2000), schools must assume educational ownership for school violence.…”
