Article Main Content

In a world where kids kill kids every word about violence is welcome. School violence is the new pandemic that threatens all the stakeholders all over the planet. Despite the incalculable documents written about violence in all its forms, and the impressive list of approaches that tried to prevent violence by “doing something”, none of them really succeeded. The complexity of the phenomenon seems to challenge all the brilliant minds around the world. Nonetheless, the multitudes of academic contributions about the issue have paved the way towards identifying the hidden facets of violence and the vast array of forms and variants it can take like micro-violences. The following study is an attempt to analyse the different approaches used to prevent school violence, through identifying their strengths and weaknesses. A new approach -“The Scenario-Based Approach” (S.B.A) - is then proposed to complete the arsenal of methods already used in schools. Unfortunately, the following words will hurt. There is no perfect panacea to stop violence in academic settings and work places. Preventing violent behaviours with a use of an integrative model including all the stakeholders and strategies is one of the smartest strategies one opt for.

 

Keywords: Gamification, Micro-Violence, Nonverbal Behaviours, Preventive Approaches, Proactiveness.
