This study set out to understand school violence from the perspective of different agents of an educational institution,
using qualitative research with data obtained through interviews with 27 actors in a public school and submitted to
thematic content analysis. The categories Manifestations of School Violence and School Violence Causes and
Consequences emerged from the conversation. Participants highlighted situations in which they portrayed themselves
as victims, pointed out manifestations of violence “in,” “from,” and “towards” school. They related the genesis of
violence to relational/social aspects, and the consequences to offenders, victims, and the school itself. The
understanding of school violence from the perspective of different stakeholders enabled us to understand the
complexity of the phenomenon and the importance of developing actions not only from education professionals, but
from multidisciplinary and intrasectoral teams aiming to prevent and work against school violence.
