Summary/Abstract: Intervention-Research and the Prevention of Violence. The knowledge the intervener from the social domain can turn to is of two types. The first type is that of the explicative models, which in the classical model analysis the risk factors associated to social problems. A second type of knowledge refers to the modalities of intervention directed towards a target population. Bu this knowledge is individualized and their generalization raises important problems. The modality, which serves social change in a systematic view that can be generalized, is that of intervention-research, which evaluates the efficiency of some existent intervention-types, wants to create new models of action and describes the strategies of change. For the exemplification of the intervention-research we will present the results of a study that aims to implement an intervention-program in Romania in order to reduce the violence of the school-aged population (10-14 years) and to establish a better communication among children with different ethnical and cultural provenience.
