Abstract
This study investigated the incident characteristics
and perpetrator attributes that influence the amount
of media exposure adolescent-perpetrated intentional
school shootings receive.
253 intentional adolescent-perpetrated school
shootings examined.
Number of documents published in the media about
a shooting was a direct measurement of the
shooting’s level of media exposure.
Results showed the age of the perpetrator, the
perpetrator’s psychological health, and the total
number of victims from the shooting had the
strongest impact on media exposure.
