BY SMARRELLI, GABRIELA; WU, DONGYI; BAAGO-RASMUSSEN, LINE; HARES, SUSANNAH; NAKER, DIPAK

From the document: "This brief has been developed to support conversations on addressing violence in and through education. It focuses specifically on violence against children in and around schools, while fully recognising that different forms of violence are interconnected, and occur in multiple settings including homes, communities, and online. The brief provides an overview of the magnitude and effects of violence in and around schools and a review of evidence-based interventions aimed at eliminating school-related violence. The brief should not be viewed as an expansive summary. Readers interested in further details are recommended to visit the studies cited in the references."
