Abstract

The research that informs this article is based on the UK case study schools within a European Safer Schools Partnership, that included nine other countries. A key aspect of the partnership was the promotion of democratic values and violence prevention. The article takes a critical look at the development of such partnerships and how the behaviour of children in and around schools is understood and responded to.
