In many schools, drugs, vandalism, assaults,
thefts, and violence against both students and teachers
have destroyed the orderly atmosphere needed for teaching
and learning. While juvenile criminal behavior,
both in school and elsewhere, is caused by a large and
complex set of sociological and psychological conditions,
there is evidence that a better understanding of
the problem of crime and violence in our schools and
society can lead to a decline in students' apathy,
cynicism, anger, and criminal delinquent behavior.
Information presented in this dissertation may have
the valuable effect of developing a basic nomenclature
for lay persons and professionals, students and teachers,
who share an interest in the perceived need to get
crime and violence out of the schools.
The appendices contain the nomenclature to which
education professionals and concerned persons can refer
for the practical and useful information they provide. / Graduation date: 1991
