AB - Over the past few years, the response rate to school violence victimization has steadily increased, from 0.9% in 2020 to 2.1% in 2024. Although this upward trend is gradually slowing, school violence remains a significant social issue. The rise of new forms of school violence, such as cyberbullying, along with the increasing sophistication and younger age of perpetrators, underscores the urgent need for active intervention from schools and local communities.
To prevent and address school violence, the government has implemented various policies, including system improvements, the establishment of dedicated investigators and support teams, and strengthened preventive education. Notably, initiatives like the "School Violence Zero Center," the "Relationship Improvement Support Team," and the "Victim Support Team," launched in 2024, have contributed to reducing the administrative burden on schools and aiding the recovery of victimized students. However, the current response system operates primarily through administrative agencies, limiting its ability to address situations immediately within schools. Issues such as lack of integration in delivery systems, insufficient professional expertise among personnel, and the inadequacy of existing programs have been pointed out.
School violence is not merely a problem confined to the school environment but a societal phenomenon closely tied to the maturity of community culture, ethics, and local environmental factors. Therefore, the fundamental resolution of school violence requires the establishment of an organic and proactive cooperative network between schools and communities. For communities to serve as a central axis in responding to school violence, voluntary participation from community members, such as parents and local organizations, along with trust in shared goals, must be established.
This study, rooted in such awareness of the issue, suggests refining administrative support systems for school violence prevention and countermeasures. Specifically, it proposes expanding the role of school violence countermeasure review committees to coordinate and execute activities at the local government level.
