Episodes of violence in schools have heightened public concern with school safety. They have also generated scholarly concern with the causes of such violence. Two theories of general aggression among adolescents may help explain acts of violence in schools. One theory emphasizes the importance for violence prevention of the social bonds individual youth have with their families, schools, and religious organizations. Another theory emphasizes the importance of social control within the school environment for individual acts of violence. Using data on a sample of seventh-grade students from schools in a representative sample of counties in Kentucky, this project addresses four questions concerning the causes of school violence? One, what are the effects of the bonding of individuals to families, schools, peers, and religion? Two, do the effects of bonding vary across schools? Three, what are the effects of school-level variables such as racial composition, student mobility, and financial resources? And four, does the organization of schools in terms of teacher supervision and intervention affect the influence of the school-level variables? The results not only contribute to the understanding of the causes of violence, but also help identify effective means to prevent school violence.

校园暴力事件的发生，加深了公众对学校安全的关注。 它们也引起了学术界对这种暴力的原因的关注。 关于青少年普遍攻击性的两种理论可能有助于解释学校中的暴力行为。 一种理论强调，预防暴力的重要性在于青年个人与其家庭、学校和宗教组织之间的社会纽带。 另一种理论强调学校环境中对个人暴力行为进行社会控制的重要性。 使用的数据样本的七年级学生从学校在肯塔基州县的代表性样本，这个项目解决了四个问题的原因，学校暴力？ 第一，个体与家庭、学校、同伴和宗教的联系有什么影响？ 第二，学校之间的联系效果是否不同？ 第三，学校层面的变量，如种族构成，学生流动性和财政资源的影响是什么？ 第四，学校组织在教师督导与干预方面是否会影响学校层面变量的影响？ 研究结果不仅有助于了解暴力的原因，而且有助于确定预防校园暴力的有效手段。
