Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to study the prevalence and prevention of school violence. To examine the prevalence of violence, we reviewed and analyzed research papers that focused on the prevalence of school violence and prevention. The articles which were considered had students of older grades of elementary school as the research sample: the fifth grade the least. The reason for this is that most authors state that school violence is most prevalent in adolescence, but also that it decreases during later adolescence. We also analyzed papers published from 2010 to 2022, which report on research conducted in elementary schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Croatia, in the attempt to study the prevalence of violence in recent times (in our country and neighboring countries). When it comes to the prevention of violence, we considered instruction focused on the prevention of school violence as well as the highlighting of essential aspects for organizing pedagogical and psychological workshops to prevent school violence. The authors suggest organizing continuous teacher training for the prevention of school violence.
