Summary/Abstract: Violence at sports events is not a new phenomenon. The ways in which states oppose this form of violence are different and vary from state to state, undertaking different types of preventive and repressive actions. Youth hooliganism at sports events has become a regular occurrence, which is more and more seen at sports events. Hooligans do not come to sports events to support the club and enjoy sports, but because of the opportunity to behave violently. To determine students' attitudes about violence at sports events, we surveyed students of the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Security. The questionnaire was completed by 177 students. The results of the research were compared with the research that was conducted in 2013 among high school students. The results of the research show that students are to some extent familiar with the problem of violence at sports events, but also that they do not have a favourable attitude towards police activities, although in the percentage they did not have strong points of contact with this phenomenon. The research showed that it is necessary to continue working on the education and training of young people since they still do not have sufficiently developed knowledge in this area.
