Based on ethnographic work at an urban alternative school for students expelled for bringing weapons to school and an affluent suburban school eighteen miles away, this book describes various ways violence can be constructed. Specifically, this book discusses personal and structural forms of violence that students, teachers, administrators, and other school staff encounter.. - Using examples from the ethnographic analysis, this book describes some of the valuable lessons learned about hew we can work to prevent school violence."--Jacket.
