- W70592815 abstract "Introduction The statistics are frightening. Guns kill about 25 youngsters every two days. Adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 are killed by guns at a rate of one every three hours. A U.S. Department of Justice report (1993) stated that violent crimes perpetrated against juveniles between the ages of 12 and 17 had risen nearly 24 percent between 1988 and 1992. Today's youth are living in a time when violent acts are more lethal than in the past. It is also important to note that vary from source to source - but, according to FBI arrest figures, the public perception that more young people are in trouble with the law than ever before is statistically incorrect (Sautter, 1995).Youth crime has fallen since the high point in the mid-1970s but the types of crimes committed are more serious and lethal. After review of various national reports it can be stated that youth violence is widespread in our society (Sautter, 1995). It is not just a problem with minorities, or the poor, or those in urban areas. Violence crosses all gender, class, race, and residence areas. It is a problem for all Americans. Schools across the United States have felt the impact of violence for some time. Various programs to curb violent acts in schools have been implemented. Metal detectors have been installed in schools. Police officers have been signed to schools and to patrol them. Crisis hotlines have been established. Anti-violence curricula, conflict resolution programs, and peer mediation techniques are being introduced in schools. School personnel are searching for solutions to this national problem. The 26th Annual Phi Delta Gallup Poll (1994) of the Public's Attitudes Toward the Public Schools presented data showing that fighting/violence/gangs was reported as the biggest problem with which the public schools must deal. If one combines 'lack of discipline' with 'fighting/violence/gangs,' the figure for total 'net' mentions reaches 35% in 1994, whereas it was 27% in 1993. Something appears to have happened, and it was most likely a media creation. There is no gain saying, however, that Americans live in a violent culture - four times more violent, some experts say, than that of Western Europe (Elam, 1994, p. 43). Two questions were asked in the Gallup Poll that dealt with violence. One question addressed the causes for increased violence. The second one looked at how affective various measures would be in reducing violence in the public schools. Statistics on violence appears in newspapers daily, the Gallup Poll results, and a Kappan Special Report on violence lead to the design of a research study to investigate the opinions middle and secondary level administrators have about violence in South Dakota schools. The investigators believed that those who directly work with youth would provide valuable insight into the violence issue as it relates to South Dakota. Research Procedures A postcard questionnaire consisting of six questions about youth violence was constructed by the investigators. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the opinions of middle and secondary level administrators toward youth violence in schools in a rural state. The population was the total number of middle and secondary level administrators in South Dakota public school districts. There are a number of definitions of rural. and attempts to arrive at a commonly accepted operational definition have consumed considerable amounts of time and been the source of much frustration and confusion. As described in THE CONDITION OF EDUCATION IN RURAL SCHOOLS (Stern, 1994, p. 4), the U.S. Census Bureau defines rural' as ...a residual category of places outside urbanized areas in open country, or in communities with less that 2,500 inhabitants, or where the population density is less than 1,000 inhabitants per square mile. While this definition is useful, the Census Bureau also categorizes data a. …" @default.
