      abstract = {The number of school shootings has skyrocketed recently  not only in the United States but also in many other  countries. This was one of the reasons why William Jeynes  set out to write this illuminating book, in which he  provides policy makers, school leaders, teachers and other  interested individuals with valuable insights, research  data and facts to reflect upon. It is to the great merit of  William Jeynes that he proofed character education as well  as parental engagement to be highly effective tools to  improve schools in the 21st century. Schools need to focus  more on character and parental engagement and less on  testing. This book is an incredibly valuable contribution  and deserves to be taken very seriously. Roland Bernhard,  Professor of History and Civics Education, University of  Vienna School shootings have arguably become one of the  most pressing concerns facing the American education  system. While officials have proposed different solutions  to the problem, few have attempted to address the multiple  factors contributing to school shootings. In Reducing  School Shootings, William Jeynes offers a much-needed  comprehensive approach to addressing the problem that is  grounded in many years of scholarly analysis and evidence.  Scholars and policymakers interested in substantive  solutions that go beyond single policy prescriptions for  alleviating school shootings will learn a great deal from  this book. Daniel Hamlin, Professor of Education Policy,  University of Oklahoma Dr. Jeynes bravely uncovers the  complex psycho-social dynamics that have long contributed  to the global-wide incidence of school Shootings. The  evidence is presented objectively and pinpoints the  contributions of family dysfunction, mental illness,  addiction, and the overall desensitization of violence  wrought in the vacuum of postmodern culture. The  commonalities and context for school shootings were  delivered succinctly but Dr. Jeynes warns against an  oversimplification of the problem and provides  comprehensive strategies for preventative and legislative  change that will lead to a more hopeful future.
