The phenomenon of violence among school children

Tema ovog diplomskog rada jest fenomen nasilja u školskom okruženju. Budući da je nasilje među djecom i mladima gotovo svakodnevna pojava, iznimno je važno skrenuti pozornost na uzroke i posljedice rizičnih ponašanja te istaknuti važnost prevencije nasilja. Nasilje je potpuno neprihvatljiva društvena pojava i kao takvo zaslužuje svaku osudu. Cilj ovoga rada jest istražiti kako smanjiti stopu nasilja među djecom i mladima te naglasiti što svaki pojedinac može učiniti kako bi se suzbilo nasilje među djecom suzbilo u korijenu. U tome je izuzetno važno da škole unaprijede sustav obrazovanja i odgoja te da se pokrenu programi sprječavanja i prevencije nasilja. Jedan od zaključaka istraživanja jest da postoji kronični nedostatak stručnih djelatnika te da je potrebno adekvatno usmjeriti i obrazovati budući školski kadar kako bi se stopa nasilja značajno smanjila.The topic of this graduate thesis is the phenomenon of violence in school enviroment.
