Abstract |
Addressing
violence in schools is clearly on the policy and political agenda,
in the UK, Europe and beyond, with an international expert in the
field observing that: ‘violence in schools has become a
major preoccupation all over the world’ (Debarbieux 2003:
582). The aim of this research is to review and integrate what is
currently known about violence in mainstream schools, across the
4 countries of the UK. The project output will be a BERA ‘Insight’,
intended for a broad and heterogeneous audience (e.g. policy, practice
and research communities). As a consequence, this ‘Insight’ will
be written in a user-friendly and accessible style.
