Abstract:
Surveying the most important research studies on the relationship between mental illness and violence, this article serves as a primer on public health perspectives regarding the links between campus violence and mental health problems. Knowledge of current research findings and their implications are crucial tools for administrators facing heightened— and often unrealistic—demands to predict and control student behavior.Keywords: Virginia Tech; The Centers for Disease Control; American Psychologist;
