School Gun Violence in YA Literature: Representing Environments, Motives, and Impacts

by Laura A. Brown

Using Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory and Peter Langman's categorical descriptions of school shooters, this book analyzes several Young Adult (YA) texts about school shootings and uncovers how the authors represent such violence and the perpetrators while developing stories that effectively speak to their adolescent readers.
