Violent Media, Guns and Moral Panics: The Columbine High School Massacre, 20 April 1999
This essay attempts to place the shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, on 20 April 1999, and the initial media response, in some kind of historical perspective. In attempting to interpret what happened, a hierarchy of causation (presuppositions, preconditions, predpitants and triggers) is adopted. Moral panic assumptions that media violence or the availability of guns are the immediate causes of shootings in middle‐class, whi…

The Boy Scouts, Class and Militarism in Relation to British Youth Movements 1908–1930
In the 1960's academic attention became increasingly focused, in many cases of necessity, on the forms taken by student protest and, possibly in conjunction with this, there appeared almost simultaneously a corresponding upsurge of interest in the history of organized international youth movements, many of them with their origins in the late nineteenth or early twentieth centuries. Such a development in historiography would seem to contradict the…
