Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of a mixed-method study undertaken in Romanian public schools on the incidence of violence and gender-based violence (GBV) in children aged 11-15. In this regard, we underline the importance of social and gender norms affecting the perpetration and protraction of violent behaviour amongst children, as well as the importance of differing perception biases affecting the understanding and prevention of violent behaviour within the institutional setting. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, we identify differing typologies of perpetrators and victims, as well as how cultural and social norms provide a baseline identification with certain types of violence, when the element of gender is taken into consideration.
