A. Three parts are: 1. make a concrete, verifiable statement about the behavior you want changed; 2. state how you feel using ‘I’ statements; 3. make a simple statement of fact the adolescent can verify. B. Three factors are violent language and the presumption of innocence, the adolescent code, and perceptual frames. C. Five aspects are, masters of disguise, fragmentation, ‘just laugh it off’, perceived overreactions, and the perception that teachers cannot do anything. D. The six steps are attitudes that support or facilitate violence, capacity, thresholds crossed, intent, other’s reactions, and non-compliance with risk reduction interventions. E. Six scripts are, changing social status through performance, independence from adults, living with it, running away or suicide, violent fantasies, and threats. F. These four aspects are privacy, the clean slate, institutional memory loss, and the counselor-student confidentiality boundary. G. The first five of nine explanations are, mental illness, ‘he just snapped’, family problems, bullying, and peer support.

Answers
A. Five effective strategies included skills training, behavior monitoring and reinforcement, cooperative learning, bullying prevention programs, and parent education programs. B Five common factors are: emotional factors, alienation, prior warnings of violence, accessibility of guns, and a low or declining respect for life. C. Three explanations are, 1. school is often a harsh environment for boys, 2. there is a pervasive lack of male role models in schools, particularly at lower grade levels; 3. in the early years, schools tend to emphasize skills in which girls generally excel (e.g., fine-motor control, sedate behavior, and high levels of language/communication skills). D. According to these courts, a "true threat" is a threat that a reasonable person in the same circumstances would find to be a serious and unambiguous expression of intent to do harm based on the language and context of the threat. E. According to Bailey, assigning students to alternative education programs based on a student's likeness to a profile could be seen as a deprivation of the right to equal educational opportunities and thus could pose serious constitutional questions. F. Ten historical items are: history of violence, history of nonviolent offending, early initiation of violence, past supervision/intervention failures, history of self-harm or suicide attempts, exposure to violence in the home, childhood history of maltreatment, parental/ caregiver criminality, early caregiver disruption, and poor school achievement. G. 1. If another student emphasizes "killing" as opposed to a vague threat about getting back at someone; 2. if the person points out that they have access to a gun; 3. or if they seem to have a specific plan for how to kill someone. H. 1. There is no profile or single "type" of perpetrator of targeted violence; 2. there is a dynamic interaction among perpetrator, situation, target, and the setting; 3. there is a distinction between making a threat (expressing an intent to harm a target to the target or others) and posing a threat (engaging in behaviors that lead to a plan to harm); and 4. targeted violence is not random or spontaneous.
