Violence at school is one of the new global social issues. We will discuss this social phenomenon based on research conducted in Brazil, particularly in Rio Grande do Sul; We will also feature materials from France, the United States, Canada, South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, and Hong Kong. This will be explained in three parts: Violence at School: the search for an explanation; The Brazilian Society and Violence at School; The World Phenomenon of Violence at School observed in at least 50 countries. We work with the sociological notion of "torn citizenship": this notion evokes increasing physical violence in society through various processes of laceration of the body - domestic violence, sexual violence, criminal violence and political violence - which compromises the very possibilities of building citizenship. To analyse the social process of violence among young people, and their uncertain and labyrinthine lives, there are three dimensions: the use of violence, that is, young people live in a "culture of violence"; the existence of a social code that reflects a violent society; and third, the individualism of the young. The conclusion proposes a dialogical approach about school violence and the struggles and social strategies for the mediation and pacification of the school space.
