Description: How do readers make sense of the tragedy of a school shooting or draw conclusions from these incidents? "Deadly Lessons" is the outcome of the National Research Council's effort to glean lessons from six case studies of lethal student violence. The cases point to possible causes of violence and suggest where interventions may be most effective.
