This collection of papers is the outcome of the National Academies' effort to glean information from six different case studies of student-perpetrated school shootings. Part 1, "Case Studies of Lethal School Violence," includes: "The Copycat Factor: Mental Illness, Guns, and the Shooting Incident at Heritage High School, Rockdale County, Georgia" (Mercer L. Sullivan and Rob T. Guerette); "Bad Things Happen in Good Communities: The Rampage Shooting in Edinboro, Pennsylvania, and Its Aftermath" (William DeJong, Joel C. Epstein, and Thomas E. Hart); "A Deadly Partnership: Lethal Violence in an Arkansas Middle School" (Cybelle Fox, Wendy D. Roth, and Katherine Newman); "No Exit: Mental Illness, Marginality, and School Violence in West Paducah, Kentucky" (David Harding, Jal Mehta, and Katherine Newman); "Shooting at Tilden High: Causes and Consequences" (John Hagan, Paul Hirschfield, and Carla Shedd); "What Did Ian Tell God?: School Violence in East New York" (Mindy Thompson Fullilove, Gina Arias, Moises Nunez, Ericka Phillips, Peter McFarlane, Rodrick Wallace, and Robert E. Fullilove III); and "A Cross-Case Analysis." Part 2, "Understanding and Preventing Lethal School Violence," includes "Lethal School Violence in Statistical Context,""Literature Review," and "Response Strategies: Observations on Causes, Interventions, and Research." Two appendices are: "Case Study Methodology and the Study of Rare Events of Extreme Youth Violence: A Multilevel Framework for Discovery" (Mercer L.
