Violence at schools in context

This incident is part of a worrying pattern of youth violence in schools. The reasons for this are diverse and can lie in family conditions, group constraints or unstructured leisure behavior. Media consumption also plays a role in the development of aggressive behavior. According to information from the Police-advisory center , children and adolescents are often disproportionately victims of violence and are therefore often the responsibility to prevent them.

In order to counter this challenge, schools are increasingly relying on prevention programs, such as the anti-bullying program, which was originally developed in Norway. The aim of such programs is to promote respectful and safe school climate to minimize violence. The police advertise nationwide initiatives under the motto "No more chance for bullies".

These prevention workshops and programs aim to take the responsibility to teach and prevent violent behavior at an early stage. Early intervention is crucial for the successful fight against violence in schools.
