Garner, P., Gittins, C. and Burnett, N. (2012) Reducing violence against children in schools: report and commentary on the analysis of a sample of UNICEF Country Programmes. New York: UNICEF.

Item Type: Monograph (Project Report)
Abstract: A total of 22 UNICEF country offices provided information for this report through their country child protection and education teams. Data informing were obtained from two secondary sources of information (37 generic reports identified during a purposive trawl of the internet, coupled with a scoping of recent academic literature on school violence) and one primary source (102 documents from the 22 countries). Three principal issues were identified as challenges in the analysis: differences in terminology, cultural variation/interpretation and the validity, representativeness and coverage of data, including baseline data. The resulting data provided insights to the common factors which appear to underpin violence in schools and to those practices that seem to be effective in addressing it.
