School Gun Violence in YA Literature

A rigorous academic monograph that brings real theoretical muscle to a difficult and underexamined topic — Bronfenbrenner's ecological framework plus Langman's shooter typology applied to sixteen YA novels is genuinely useful for educators and curriculum researchers. The grounding in FBI and government data keeps it honest. This is a narrow specialist book that earns its place on a university library shelf, though it won't reach beyond that audience.
