Violencia nas Escolas.pdf

ABSTRACT
This book focuses on the current state of research on violence
in schools and public policies. It is composed of a selection of papers
read by renowned specialists at the world conference on this theme.
The European Observatory of Violence in Schools organized it in
Paris, in March 2001, with the support of the French Ministry of
Education and the European Commission and under the patronage
of UNESCO. The works here presented approach theoretical issues,
such as the definitions of violence in schools, extending their focus
to a wide array of experiences in public policies in different countries
of the world on a comparative basis. Results, advantages and
limitations of diverse approaches in the prevention of and struggle
against violence, including teacher training policies, are analyzed in
several national contexts. Lessons from experience are discussed in
most of the cases often in a comparative basis. Risk factors for youth
violence, risk factors and exclusion from school, school bullying and
ways of preventing it, as well as relations between school climate
and violence are other topics discussed in this book.
