    Information contained in Figure 1 was taken from The National School
    Safety Center’s Report on School Associated Violent Deaths (1992-2007).
    This report defines a school-associated violent death as any homicide,
    suicide, or weapons-related violent death in the United States in which a
    fatal injury occurred. For this chart, the number of shooting deaths
    occurring on school property and where the assailant was a student was
    tabulated. The incidents were then categorized into those which occurred
    in states where school paddling is permitted and those where it is not
    permitted. Student shootings were more likely to occur in states where
    school corporal punishment is permitted.

    A study by Doreen Arcus (2002) found that there were significantly more
    fatal school shootings in states that permit corporal punishment in
    schools than those that don’t.

    Punishment: A look at the states. Aggressive Behavior, 28, pp. 173-183.
