Summary/Abstract: In the area of behavioral disorders, it is especially important to focus on the mutual relationships of these disorders, and in this case specifically on the relationship between violent behavior and drug abuse. The results of these relationships should be analyzed in a rather detailed way due to the possibility that this form of violence is a risk factor for drug abuse or that this abuse is one of the most important reasons for such behavior.This paper analyzes the relationship between three identified forms of drug abuse and variables of violent behavior of students, while simultaneously controlling a large number of relevant variables from the school environment. The survey was conducted on a representative sample of 1287 secondary school students in Belgrade. The relationship between violent behavior and drug abuse has been tested by canonical discriminative analysis especially on a sample of boys, and especially on a sample of girls.The results of these analyzes have shown that some forms of violent behavior are direct predictors of drug abuse, but that relationship varies depending on the gender and form of abuse.
