How Our Kids are Learning to Kill & Learning to Like It
The Relationship Between Media Violence & Violent Crime
Hosted by Public Safety Training Institute & Harford Community College
Presenter: Lt. Col. Dave Grossman
Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman is one of the world's leading experts on interpersonal aggression and violence. This presentation will address several diverse topics which were brought together by Lt. Col. Grossman’s experiences as:
- a military and law enforcement trainer and psychologist,
- a trainer of health professionals, law enforcement personnel, and first responders in the aftermath of the Jonesboro, Springfield, Littleton, Nickel Mines Amish School, and Virginia Tech school shootings,
- a consultant in the Paducah school shootings and other major murder cases, and
- a speaker to the annual conventions of the AMA, APA and AAP.
The objectives are to give the audience a sound understanding of the magnitude of the problem of violent crime in the US and worldwide and the threat to our schools; the role of the media in enabling the current worldwide “virus” of violent crime; and immediate measures that can be taken to make our schools safer.
