Thesis: Because, for decades, this country has witnessed its alarmingly increasing rate of
destructiveness with grave outcomes, aggressive actions must be taken to prevent youth violence; video
surveillance should be mandatory in all middle, secondary, and post-secondary schools.
• Bullying is one the most popular forms of youth violence.
• It occurs in every type of school (especially in congested areas).
• Youth violence can be dealt with as soon as someone realizes that it’s occurring.
• Video surveillance can give administration information and evidence not otherwise
available.
• Surveillance gives some apprehension from fear of being caught.
• Video allows real time monitoring of their facilities (administration can watch actions as
they occur).
• The objective of schools (to teach) is greatly hindered by the presence of youth violence.
• Everyone deserves and has the right to only be subjected to environments that they feel
safe and comfortable in (especially children).
