Özet

In recent years, school violence has been extensively discussed in the media and has become a very popular topic in Turkey and many other countries around the world. In fact, it is possible to read and see news every day about school violence in newspapers and television in developing countries. Thus, the purpose of this chapter is to discuss the research advancing understanding of school violence and bullying in the Turkish school system. The chapter includes studies and reviews focused on school violence, including the prevalence and reasons of the violent actions in the context of Turkish culture. Contemporary studies are mostly focused on student violence and bullying behaviors. However, there is also teacher induced violence that has not been acknowledged due to its sensitive nature in previous studies. Therefore, this chapter also includes a discussion of violent actions instigated by teachers. Additionally, in recent years cyberbullying/violence have become very common among youngsters. Cyberbullying is also discussed as is the depiction of school violence in the media. Findings are examined in light of previous literature and data from other developing countries. Finally, effective intervention and prevention methods are also reviewed.
