The article presents, from a broader perspective, the measures that some schools from Bucharest have adopted, mainly from Sector 1, in order to prevent and stop violence in schools. According to the officials, the schools have been equipped with a panic button connected to the Police Department. The panic button should be used in one of the following situations: entering without permission in the school premises, breaking and entering, assaults on the security personnel, disturbing public order and safety, medical emergencies and fire. Additionally, the local administration has installed 71 surveillance cameras in 17 schools and high schools in order to ensure a permanent monitoring of activities. Parallel, police squads have been assigned to patrol the area near schools throughout class hours.
All these measures come as an answer to the propagation of the violence in schools phenomenon that took place in 2010. That this phenomenon has acquired alarming proportions is proven also by the case of the pupil that was stabbed to death by a teenager.
In brief, these measures target the prevention of antisocial behavior that could affect the safety and physical integrity of children and pupils alike.
