Another school shooting...

Apparently, cable news generally and CNN specifically really started taking off in 1991. That's also when we start to see a big increase in the number of recorded attacks. Between more reporting and just having more people, I'm not sure that the incidence of school shootings is increasing per capita.

You should also consider the state of the society with growing population connected to its effects in the acceptances, values, patterns for behaviors in any generation and sub-social group that exists in that time, their motives, etc. It's also obvious that the extreme rise of information technology is something the humanity never faced before, and I believe the majority of the today's youth's codes and motives are shaped by it. So the youth crime level can easily keep going up regardless of their percentage in the entire youth population since it will be harder for the bunch of them to held onto a subsocial group that would make them define themselves as individuals or being a part of something, actually we all know that many kids that are obsessed with games 'till early ages grow pretty anti-social and I'm sure many of them thinks of mass shootings or any other violence when they are angry. People go to "bad people" in those cases but actually if the bad people are the drug dealers in the corner, then I can tell you that they are the ones that know how to stay alive and avoid any stupid funny action like mass shooting and try to stay low profile not to get caught. In the first place, "feeling lost" leads those "ideal family kids" that way I believe.

you forgot to mention white privilege...



am I the only one crazy enough to think it has something to do with the increased level of violence that is considered acceptable in the media, video games etc?

If you accept all that, and combine it with the overall decrease in crime and violence, that would mean the effects of information technology is to reduce crime.
