...criminologists also see something new. China's rapidly expanding media have included a proliferation of tabloid newspapers and reality cop shows. Just as Americans believed violent media images were partly to blame for the 1999 school massacre in Columbine, Colorado, Chinese law-enforcement specialists see a link between the recent rash of killings and the violent messages delivered by newspapers and movies. "It seems that the day after crimes appear in the media, someone will imitate it," says Kang Shuhua, director of the criminology research center at Peking University...

This might seem like a cop out, but I don’t think you can really quantify “Harvard’s artistic community.” It’s too broad. I don’t think I’m any sort of authority on the matter, since my work here has been primarily through the HRDC. From what I’ve seen, Harvard has a terrifically diverse range of opportunities. In my experience, this community has been very “open,” but I would argue that the separate...
