Ken Futternick (ed). A collection of readings that focuses on young people as victims (rather than perpetrators) of violent acts, & violent images that pass as “entertainment.” Considers what laws & public policies are required in order to protect young people in Calif. today. The readings in Part I provide some background for consideration of policy issues: How far can we go in preventing violence, & still maintain our civil liberties? What policies will prevent violence? Does TV promote violence? What about poverty? Part II focus on: school safety & student security; the media & questions of control or censorship; & protecting young people on the Internet.
