Abstract

This dissertation falls within the research line of Education, Institutions, and Educational Policies (EIPE) of the Graduate Program in Education (Stricto Sensu) at University Center of Inhumas – UniMais. The study focuses on public policies for preventing violence in the school environment. The general objective is to investigate and comprehend public policies for preventing school violence within the context of schools in Goiás. To achieve this, specific objectives include: presenting concepts related to school violence, including its manifestations and implications in the educational environment; identifying different perspectives and discourses found in academic literature and official documents concerning violence in schools, considering the viewpoints of scholars, educational policy makers, and other specialists; understanding the relevant legislation for preventing school violence in Goiás (2003-2023), identifying its main strategies, programs, and actions implemented to promote a culture of peace in schools, along with their challenges and prospects for development within the educational context. The adopted methodology is qualitative research through theoretical bibliographic and documentary studies. Thus, the research aims to provide an understanding of the issue of school violence, focusing on public policies, programs, and projects aimed at its prevention and intervention, with particular attention to the educational context in Goiás. It can be asserted that school violence and attacks on schools in Brazil reflect broader and more complex social issues, highlighting the motivations of aggressors, weaknesses in education, and emergency prevention measures. School violence represents a multifaceted challenge that requires evidence-based public policies and a culture of peace in educational institutions, involving both government and civil society as well as educational entities.
