Voller Hass - Weshalb Jugendliche Amok laufen - pp 03.12.2007

Auslöser war die Mitteilung der Polizei, sie habe einen bevorstehenden Anschlag in einem Gymnasium in Köln verhindert. Amokläufe an Schulen sind selten, aber die Zahlen, sagen Experten, nehmen zu. Allein in Berlin gab es im vergangenen Jahr 50 Drohungen gegen Schulen, beziehungsweise wurden Pläne eines Attentats rechtzeitig entdeckt. Doch über die Motive herrscht Unklarheit: Warum laufen junge Männer Amok und woher kommt der zerstörerische Hass?
