Lineamientos para la formulación de una política pública contra la violencia escolar, en las instituciones de secundaria en Villavicencio - Colombia

Abstract

Bullying has been characterized as a little-known phenomenon. Even though I was in school, there was no legally correct answer. The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual and empirical approach to the problem in such a way as to create a basis for classifying bullying as an important phenomenon and behavior that affects the well-being of children. The qualitative research method was used in the research, which was completed with a type of purposeful research. It should be noted that in our country there are no studies on this phenomenon, general or total indicators that allow adequately diagnosing the presence and dimensions of bullying. The current indicators are the result of academic studies carried out by scientific groups. Therefore, we conclude that the process of social and legal visibility of the problem must begin, because the awareness of society and justice about it is fundamental, and it is also convenient for Colombia to adopt legislation on this issue that does not only create repressive mechanisms as an alternative or solution, but rather to develop greater measures to detect and treat both victims and perpetrators, and thus form a public policy that confronts this scourge.
