Should Students Be Punished for Fighting at School?

Why do students fight?  Why do they feel it is OK to attack each other in groups?  Why are they comfortable with bringing a weapon to school, be it a knife or some other edge tool?

A few days ago some students felt it was right to fight during school.  The fighting was so severe that the police had to be called in...what kind of reflection does this have on parents?  Should parents be held responsible for the child's behavior when he is at school? Should the school?  What negotiation tactic should be used to enable the student[s] to defend his action? It is obvious that beating the child does not work.  In fact it seem to be encouraging the student[s] to counter use violence.

High school students can be tried as adults, but do we want more prisoners living off the state?  Are prisons  remodeling inmates for the benefit of society or are they producing better criminals?  Why is it that some people after spending a term in prison decide to make a career of being a prisoner and do the most trivial thing to return to prison?

Question after question can be raised, but we need answers.

More police officers does not stop people from committing crimes.  Some people feel that they are smarter than the officers.  When they are apprehended they quickly lawyer up. What is the solution?
Please share.
