School shootings - considerations on prevention
A horrible event like the recent school shooting in Winnenden, Germany, leaves people speechless and inevitably brings up the question of what should be done so that something similar will not happen again. Ruth Linssen, professor for police studies at the technical university for public administration of North Rhine-Westphalia and Erich Marks, member of the EFUS Executive Committee, propose in their article considerations on prevention, though -as they underline already in the title- in a context of relative ignorance of the phenomenon.
