The reviewed material is very well presented and substantiated. The view point of the author is adequately presented and it is not hard for the reader to agree with her. According to the author violence between children and towards children is very worrying – violence on the street and violence in school. The school is one of the most frequent settings of violent acts between children – it holds the second place, right after the family, where violence comes from the parents, relatives and friends. Violence on the street and in public places comes third. Among the many provocative factors has been pointed out the fact that in Bulgaria today the youths have serious hardships and worries and fail to see their future and personal fulfillment opportunities. This means that thought should be given not only to how to educate, or who is educating, but also to the meaning of education.
According to the author the main reasons for violence and misconduct with children are different. First of all this is the general crisis of normative values. The other reasons lie with the parents and schools – the examples, which the children get from the family, the information environment and the behavior models among which they grow up. Correcting the listed psychological reasons for the youths are a main concern of the specialists, which are engaged in the organization and conducting of preventive work. For the violence in school we seek the help of the pedagogic advisor, who must be a specialist, psychologist, a trustee.
The successful approaches in combating violence in schools in the other countries have been presented adequately. The focus of successful approaches falls on:
 Differences between the schools through specific guidelines, which do not repeat mechanically the laws.
 Developing joint teacher-student specialized groups for periodical monitoring of the school environment.
 Introduction of the programs against conflicts and violence in schools, lead by professionals.
 Opening the school towards the parents for voluntary and active inclusion and obligatory presence in individual work with the student.
