초록
The aim of this qualitative study is to explore risk factors for school violence with a focus on what influence perpetrators’ violent behavior by analyzing school violence cases and conducting in-depth interviews with School Police Officers (SPOs). The results show that structural factors of perpetrators’ families proved to be closely related to their socioeconomic status and to the weaker parent-child bond in two-income households. Above all, it was clearly identified that structural factors lead to functional factors. Functional factors were explained by confirming positive effects of parent-child bonds, parental supports for their children, and parents’ sense of justice in the prevention of school violence. On the other hand, parents’ overprotection of their children was found to have a negative impact on the children’s involvement in school violence by badly affecting their building self-control and moral character. As a means to address the problems found, it is suggested that police should develop its own youth initiative that can oblige parents participation and a system through which police can continue follow-up management of children whose parents are no longer available.
