This is a project that was completed and submitted for review the day before the events at Virginia Tech. It is focused on theory and situational forces on middle and high school adolescents since that is where the majority of school shooters have come from. In that respect it is less applicable to Cho but many will find that some of the underlying factors in this case and school shootings in general are more understandable in light of this paper. I highly recommend viewing the original and complete piece with pictures here. This was a team project and the other two members prefer to remain anonymous.
This is the third and final part and covers research and real solutions. Please first read part1 and part2. One of the solutions, the Jigsaw Classroom, was the inspiration for the title.
Once again, keep in mind that this was written before the events at Virginia Tech, but we think you will find it useful none the less.
