Research by Furlong and Morrison (2000) indicate that perpetrators of school violence share some common characteristics. Their research revealed that males were more
likely than females to be perpetrators of school violence. It was also indicated that perpetrators who engaged in drug use were more likely to be aggressive and violent
when at school. A report by Portner (2000) indicates that the most violent attackers came from a variety of racial backgrounds with more than three-fourths of them white.
However, according to Portner, there has not been an accurate profile developed of the potential school violence perpetrator. Warner, Weist, and Krulak (1999) reveal other
variables such as a dysfunctional family life and failure to succeed either academically or socially as indicators of high-risk students in regard to school violence. According
to the U.S. Secret Service, National Threat Assessment Center (2002, 15), “most attackers engaged in some behavior prior to the incident that caused concern or indicated
a need for help. In more than half of the cases, the attacker’s behavior caught the attention of more than one person.”
