Analyzing_Youth_Violence_Statistics

Analyzing Youth Violence Statistics A large portion of sociological theories comes from statistics collected from the societies or the society that is being studied. This helps make conclusions about changes or patterns so we can get a better idea of how society functions the way it does, what we should change, and how to go about changing things. A major issue in the United States is violence, especially youth violence. Many statistics have been collected and hopefully they will help to change society for the better. The United States has the highest firearm death rate among 15-24 years olds compared with selected nations with similar S.E.S. profiles. This tells us that we need stricter gun control policies by law and in the home. The government needs to make stricter laws about buying and selling guns. Also, people need to lock up their guns, keep their safeties on, and educate people about guns at an early age. Recent suburban and rural school shootings are atypical. Schools should recognize students that are having problems and try to help any way they can. Schools should be aware and prepared and some should take higher security measures. violence, social, should, problems, help, about, school, schools, need, students, society, services, people, home, guns, behavior, risks, recognize, much, make, control, children, better, aggression, age, youth, young, way, united, things, teaching, talk, take, student, stricter
