school violence
Classroom physical harm
School violence refers to physical aggression, threats, bullying, or other harmful acts occurring in educational settings—from elementary schools through universities.
The term encompasses everything from playground fights to mass shootings, though media coverage has weighted it toward the latter.
The district implemented new security measures to prevent school violence.
Related concerns include cyberbullying, which extends school conflicts into digital spaces.
