Reddit reviews The Wiley Handbook on Violence in Education: Forms, Factors, and Preventions (Wiley Handbooks in Education)

Has anyone been able to find the actual list of shooting that are referenced by the graph from the underlying source?

Because the graphs don't match up with the Wikipedia list of US school shootings by a wide margin. Maybe they use a different data source for there list but it seems odd.


>James Alan Fox and Emma E. Fridel, “The Three R’s of School Shootings: Risk, Readiness, and Response,” in H. Shapiro, ed., The Wiley Handbook on Violence in Education: Forms, Factors, and Preventions, New York: Wiley/Blackwell Publishers, June 2018.

The only reference to the "Three R's of School Shootings..." book seems to be in this article and others like it. I would assume it hasn't been published yet, but who knows.

James Fox is a professor at Northeastern and seems to have published many works on mass killing, but I can't find this title anywhere for him.

Anna Fridel is a doctoral candidate at NE and only has one published work.


The second source, "The Wiley Handbook.." does seem to exist and it is by another NE professor Harvey Shapiro who I can't find much on him other than a recent arrest, but the book exists and just hasn't been published yet.

Amazon isn't even published yet.

I would assume some of this data was sourced from the School-Associated Violent Death Study by the CDC, but again their data doesn't really line up with that either.

So bottom line is I wouldn't trust the article or its assertions until we can see the underlying data.
