PDF - Violence in schools - a challenge for the local community (2004)

This book reviews the highlights of the Council of Europe conference Local Partnerships for preventing and combating Violence at School (December, 2002). The conference discarded repression altogether as a means of curbing violence in schools. Instead, discussion focused on mediation, intercultural dialogue, early warning systems, prevention programmes at primary school level, and above all, on respect for the human rights of both the victim and the defender.
