Violência escolar no Brasil: uma análise teórico-crítica

Abstract

School violence is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, structured around social and cultural norms, acting as a means of maintaining the unequal power relations present in society. Manifestations of school violence can take many forms, and this has complex consequences for everyone. This problem is linked to the educational process and the overall development of students, compromising not only their acquisition of knowledge but also their social interaction in the school environment. This final course project aimed to investigate the different manifestations of school violence, based on Brazilian educational scientific production, current legislation, and related data, understanding its impacts in the educational context. This is a qualitative bibliographic and documentary research study based on academic publications, federal and state legislation, as well as national reports and data from the National Human Rights Observatory. The results indicated that school violence remains a constant challenge for educational institutions, requiring solutions that go beyond punishment and include the implementation of preventive and educational practices. It was also found that, although legal frameworks represent significant advances, their effectiveness still depends on coordination between public policies, the school community, and civil society. Addressing school violence requires an integrated approach that values the role of schools as places for civic education, promoting respectful coexistence, and building a culture of peace.
