Child Rights and Preventive Educational Activities in Public Elementary Schools in Response to Violence and Deviant Behaviour

Abstract

In this paper, the authors analyse the importance of educational concepts and preventive education in elementary school, and support the need for the systematic planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of educational activities in public primary schools. This assumes that social changes also affect changes in the socialisation of children and youth. The authors reveal the complexity of factors that contribute to deviant, aggressive, or violent behaviour, discuss theories of anomie and interaction theory as the basis for the analysis of deviant behaviour, and present preventive discipline in response to educational problems, violence, and deviant behaviour in public elementary schools.
