Summary/Abstract: It is evident that the world has been grappling with violence of various kinds and levels through history. Precise analyses indicate that contemporary society views this issue from the perspectives of security and rights, emphasizing preventive action and the sanctioning of perpetrators. There are few studies that delve into the sociological aspect of violence, despite sociology being a social science which examines human relationships and interactions. Given that sociology has developed specialized branches such as cultural sociology, rural sociology, sociology of religion, business sociology, sociology of labour, sociology of sport, etc., there is a need to consider introducing sociology of violence as a branch of study that comprehensively addresses the issue of violence. This is significant as the intensity of violence not directly related to war activities is drastically increasing, even with dramatic consequences.In the light of the above, it is essential to focus attention specifically on certain types of violence and their causes. This paper draws attention to the sociological managerial aspect of high school violence in the Republic of Serbia, encompassing not only violence among students, but also violence by teachers against students, students against teachers, and violence perpetrated by parents against teachers. The research focuses on the period following the conclusion of the Covid–19 pandemic crisis in the Republic of Serbia, aiming to determine whether and to what extent the pandemic has affected violence in Serbia high schools.The aim of this paper is to higlight specific sociological phenomena that influence violence in Serbian high schools, with the intention that the research findings could be used to formulate policies and strategies against all types of violence in high schools
