Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While school shootings often get more media attention, they are actually a relatively small part of violence in schools. Additionally, data shows that while White youth are responsible for the majority of school shootings, a disproportionate number of homicides in schools involve non-White youth. Therefore, statement B is the only one that is true. Statements A and C are false, as school shootings have not been consistently increasing and homicide in schools is not primarily perpetrated by White students. Statement D is also false, as there is no evidence to suggest school officials are consistently able to identify students who may be involved in school shootings ahead of time.
