My kids tell me that it isn’t unusual for certain kids to carry pepper spray these days. Those collapsible batons also.

Except we don’t have such a violent society – or do we, under the radar? Are girls carrying pepper spray to counter sexual harassment?

We have (at least to some) the PERCEPTION of a violent society. What do kids see on the web, TV, movies, etc? To a 15-year-old, what they see on screen isn’t very much separate from what they feel is their real life. The media is boiling over with displays of violence and strife, and it’s very easy to see that as representative of reality. Bearing in mind that the media still largely follows the “if it bleeds it leads” doctrine.
Of course not just teenagers are susceptible to this, but I think in general they are so more than the population at large.
…there’s also the issue that such weapons are easier to obtain now than they were a generation or three ago.

Violent crime is down decade over decade since the 1950s.
In the 80s I knew a lot of girls that carried knives and mace and even then most of them never had to use them – but those that did were glad to have them.
