Given the overwhelming slate of potential harm, the aim of the study was to identify early predictors of victimization, along with behavioral interventions that may prevent it. The bulk of past research on the matter involved primary-school-age children, says Michel Boivin, a psychologist at Université Laval in Québec, Canada, and a co-author of the study; the new research tracks behavior in very young kids - as early as those in pre-preschool, when children first begin interacting with one another socially...

Worse, as our ability to develop weapons has progressed, our ability to carry out our murderous plans advanced along with it.
