Evaluations of political violence by English and Northern Irish schoolchildren.
In a study of attitudes to violence in English and Northern Irish schoolchildren, 178 children, 10-11-years-old, completed a questionnaire relating to eight examples of political and non-political violence. The children were distinguished by sex, religion and geographical location. The expected differences between religious groups in Northern Ireland did not emerge: significant differences arose only between English and Irish children and were apparent for only three of the questions. The implications of these findings are discussed.
