Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-29 00:00:00 Kenneth MummaI usually find reading a good book to be an enjoyable time, however this was a somber exception. I have been working on college campuses in one way or another for over decade now. I was a college student when the Virginia Tech massacre occurred. I was in middle school when Columbine shocked the nation. Unfortunately, the realities of campus shootings have been a piece of my entire educational and professional career. Reading about all these horrible campus shootings is a gruesome enough, but what is even more disturbing is what has happened since this book was published back in 2010. It was gut-wrenching to read this book and come to the understanding that campus shootings are no longer abnormalities but expected tragedies. From my calculations, there have been over sixty deaths involving a gun on college campuses since 2010. In other words, over eight college students die a year because of guns. I am not here to spark a debate on gun control or university policies or whatever else. I have served on emergency response committees and am very thankful none of the schools I have attended or worked at have had a campus incident involving guns. But I am definitely filled with grief and pain over this reality we have on our campuses throughout our country. This work has been a great resource and a foundation for schools as they constantly reassess their response to tragic events. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in creating safer campuses. |

Once upon a time, the college campus was a community safe from the outside world, but now the world has come inside, bringing its baggage . . . not all of it for the better." Kathy/Central |
