1. Classmate (H. Plo)

Children and adolescents frequently spend more time at school than at home. School is sometimes an oasis to an abused and/or neglected child. The environment of an individual influences student behavior and lends understanding to the interactions and relationships with students, school, family, and community (Hong, Cho, Allen-Meares, & Espelage, 2011). Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems theory explains how the many environments of a child has an effect on his or development (Paquette & Ryan, 2000). The interaction between a child’s biology, family, community, and societal environments guides his or her development (Paquette & Ryan, 2000). There are three types of school shooters: traumatized, psychotic, and psychopathic (Langman, 2009).

Culture Description

The culture I chose traumatized school shooters. Many studies have been conducted about this cultural group to identify the causes for why individuals attend school with the intention of killing as many people as possible. One study found commonalities among shooters such as depressed, white males that are loners and have characteristics of various personality disorders like paranoia, narcissistic, and antisocial (Langman, 2009). According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), family, school, and social dynamics also contribute to school shooter descriptors (Langman, 2009). The FBI also identified insufficient anger management, alienation, and lack of empathy as common (Langman, 2009).

Risk Factors for Violence and Aggression

There is not one set of criteria that can identify a school shooter. However, many school shooters have similar risk factors. The most conspicuous traits are discipline problems, feeling rejected and/or picked on, depressed with suicidal ideation, a history of aggression, and uncontrolled anger (Langman, 2009). The parents of traumatized shooters are usually divorced or separated and at least one parent has a criminal history and/or substance abuse problem (Langman, 2009). This type of shooter tends to have suffered physical and/or sexual abuse (Langman, 2009). For example, Evan Ramsey was 16 when he killed two people and injured two more in 1997 at his school in Bethel, Alaska (Langman, 2009). Ramsey’s father was incarcerated for 10 years after taking a newspaper editor hostage. His mother was an alcoholic living with abusive men. Ramsey was put into foster care for neglect. Within two years, he had been in 10 foster homes. Ramsey was physically and sexually abused in one of the foster homes (Langman, 2009). Having little to no support during development could have impacted the traumatized school shooter and increased the probability of school shooting.
