The present study has aimed to provide an insight into the scale of the phenomenon of violence in Romanian schools, identifying in the same time the causes and factors that determine it.

In order to properly identify the phenomena of violence and its forms of manifestation, causes and possible solutions of prevention and intervention the researchers tried to capture representatives of different actors of the educational community – school managers, teachers, school inspectors, other factors responsible – representatives of the police, parents and students. The research has used multiple samples and many lots for investigation.
