Studies on various aspects of school shootings and school violence PART FOUR

I often hear "The government has done no studies on school shootings in over 2 decades!!!" Why wait for the government? "The government has funded studies through various universities and colleges. But when "the government" funds studies, a number of people do not like the findings, or find fault with the authors of the studies based on real or perceived political biases. 

Below are a few studies, articles, etc., in no particular order. I added them as I located them from my files. Be sure to check the dates on the studies; some are indeed older than 2 decades. That doesn't make them worthless; it is helpful to see that research has been done, added to, corrected over the years, and so on.

The link is under the title of each study; copy and paste the link into your browser. As I have time, I will make the hyperlinks clickable. 

Six studies are listed below; I will add more over time.
