What are the causes of school violence in Vietnam?
Pursuant to Clause 5, Article 2 of Decree 80/2017/ND-CP, school violence includes torture, abuse and beating; physical abuse; verbal abuse, dignity and honor violations; isolation and other actions that damage the physical and mental health of students at the educational institutions or in the independent classes.
Below are some causes of school violence that readers can refer to:
(1) Family:
The influence from the family is a cause of school violence:
- Parents abusing stimulants or alcohol also increase the risk of children engaging in violent behavior.
- Parents' abuse and neglect of children during childhood increase the likelihood of adolescents engaging in violent crimes.
- Lack of emotional attachment to parents or caregivers increases the likelihood of adolescents disregarding authority.
- Inconsistent discipline, including overly harsh or lenient discipline, can lead to adolescents engaging in delinquent behavior.
- Lack of supervision can also provide opportunities for adolescents to join gangs, use drugs, and engage in antisocial behavior.
- Parents with untreated mental disorders can increase stress in family life, and the relationship between parents and children can increase the risk of violence by adolescents.
- A tense family environment, such as missing family members, unresolved conflicts within the home, or inappropriate parental behavior, can contribute to adolescents feeling worthless and may lead to violent behavior.
(2) School:
- The influence from the school environment, specifically the rules within the school, is also a cause of school violence in children:
- Inadequate handling of disciplinary issues and school ratings.
- Adolescents who drop out of school are more likely to engage in violence and become victims of violence.
- Children experience psychological harm at school, such as being bullied or not being accepted by peers.
- The school's education model is not correct and effective.
(3) Society:
- Some social factors contribute to school violence:
- Limited participation in organized activities, such as clubs or sports, can play a role in violent behavior.
- Descriptions of illegal behavior in the media can make adolescents sensitive to violence.
- Associating with delinquent friends can increase the risk of juvenile delinquency and violence.
- Negative news can make adolescents fear for their safety, which may encourage them to use extreme measures to defend themselves.
