PEER VIOLENCE AND SCHOOL SAFETY – REFLECTION ON THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA
Peer violence and school safety have always been relevant topics in society. After the tragedy that occurred at the “Vladislav Ribnikar” Elementary School in Belgrade, these issues have gained special significance and received great public attention. The loss of innocent children’s lives has prompted a reassessment of past practices in schools regarding school safety. The aim of this paper is to analyze problems related to peer violence in the Republic of Srpska. Subsequently, the authors address the issue of school safety in a broader context and, finally, discuss the justification for educating students in the field of security culture in primary and secondary schools in the Republic of Srpska.
