Youth Violence (1228)

This program takes a look at violence among youth. Recent school shootings have been a wake-up call for educators and others, and has led to national dialogue on ways to prevent violence in our schools. Studio discussion is based on the outcome of a statewide summit on youth violence conducted by the Violence Institute of New Jersey to talk about the problem from a teen perspective. Brought on by the Columbine incident teens give their views on what needs to be done to "Stop the Violence" in schools.
