Review of Lessons Learned: Preventing School Violence
This conventional sounding program begins with the unaffected voice of Brian Walker, a survivor of a San Diego school shooting. Rebecca Cressman's narration contextualizes the stories of people who've had first hand experience with school violence, merging it with the informed analysis of academic, Richard Long.
I have heard several radio programs analyzing school shootings, but this one stands out due to Long's insight. He studied numerous incidents of school violence, and is able to bring a very concrete perspective to the issue while examining the causes of school violence side-by-side with plans to prevent such acts in the future. His findings will make this segement a valuable add for any PD wanting to address local school violence -- before or after it happens.
