Internationally, violence occurs in schools on a regular basis; and
in some contexts is particularly serious and widespread. One such
context is South Africa, where, on an almost daily basis,
newspapers carry reports of one or other aspect of school violence.
While a number of academic studies have delineated the extent and
nature of such violence, and made recommendations on possible
solutions to the problem, there has ? until now ? been no single
book bringing together theory and research on the causes of
violence, and on its reduction and prevention. Finding suitable
solutions requires a clear understanding of how and where violence
is generated. Uniquely, Violence in schools: South Africa in an
international context covers both the social bases of school
violence and the role many schools themselves play in generating
violent behaviour. It goes on to argue that school-generated
violence is potentially much more amenable to positive
intervention: solutions can be developed at the local level, by
schools themselves, and in response to the specific circumstances
generated in individual schools. This study also asks why males
specifically play such a large part in violence in South African
society. Examining the theories and empirical evidence regarding
the nature and causes of violence in schools globally, it explores
them as they relate to South African schools specifically. Overtly
based on the value of democratic values in seeking solutions, the
book provides very useful resources for a whole range of
educational endeavours. It will be of considerable interest to
government educational departments, NGOs, teacher-education
institutions, and staff and governing bodies in schools.
