Join Callum & Craig as they take a look at what many consider to be a controversial topic of High School Massacres.  What are they?  Why have they happened in the past and how does someone get to the point that they feel the need to start a massacre?  This might be a tough listen for some, but as history dictates we're not a podcast which tends to shy away from the hard hitting topics.  Also in this episode, Callum talks a little about his PhD reseearch as the two issues are inextricably linked.  We hope you enjoy the episode.  Thoughts and feedback welcome, as always._______Books/Titles referred to in this episode______Cullen, D.
