Response of African-American Adolescents in North Carolina to Gun Carrying by School Mates.
Martin, Sandra L.; And Others
Journal of School Health, v66 n1 p23-26 Jan 1996
This study examined 376 African American adolescents' perceptions about the presence of guns in school and responses associated with the perceptions. One-quarter believed that other students brought guns to school. Those perceptions related positively to their experiences of fear at school and behaviors of school avoidance and bringing weapons for self-protection. (SM)
