Abstract

The phrase “Safe school” has become a very often-used term in criminological and school circles, which means that conditions in schools are far from what should be considered as a regular or normal state in these educational institutions, and that instead other, completely unacceptable conditions and situations are dominant. We are looking for causes and those to blame for what is happening, and, daily problems make it seem like we are the only ones dealing with such situations. “Luckily”, violence in schools is a common problem in most modern societies, so it is possible for us copy or innovate our earlier and foreign experiences, to put a comparison between the conditions here and there and discover errors and omissions. This article is therefore analysing the phenomenon of school violence, the conditions and causes for its manifestation, and, of course, the possibilities and forms of prevention of this problem, the meaning of the “Safe school” phrase and the ways to achieve standards for this kind of school.
