PREVENCIJA NASILJA U ŠKOLI
PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE IN SCHOOL

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the concept of violence with a special emphasis on violence against children. Violence is an inseparable part of the human species from the very beginning, even in the holy books there is a paragraph about Adam's sons Abel and Cain, where Cain kills Abel because of jealousy. There are different motives for violence, Erich Fromm in his major work "Anatomy of Human Destructiveness" dealt with this phenomenon, more precisely the causes and consequences of human tendencies towards violence. Children, as the most vulnerable part of our population, are exposed daily to different types of violence both from adults and from their peers. Since children do not have mechanisms to defend themselves and prevent violence, it is the duty of conscientious nations and governments to adopt measures that will protect children and determine punishment for offenders. In the following, we analyze measures to prevent violence against children in the world, neighboring countries and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Finally, we suggest relying on the INSPIRE strategy as a starting point due to the lack of a unified strategic approach for the prevention of violence at the state level.
