At primary and also secondary schools we are facing more and more often psychological and physical attacks on pupils and teachers. It includes various insults, fights among pupils, ridicule, destruction of school property or personal objects of pupils and teachers. The behaviour of such individuals is influenced by several factors: negative family environment, inadequate spending of leisure time, influence of peer groups and influence of media – television, Internet. Children often witness aggressive behaviour in their families and consider it a natural part of life and they often adopt the incorrect behavioural patterns of their parents. The behaviour of individuals is also influenced by changes that have taken place in our society over the last decades (unemployment, rising divorce rate, criminality, drug addiction and other socio-pathological phenomena). The rising brutality and lower age of attackers and aggressors is an alarming fact for our society. That is the reason why various disciplines such as pedagogy, psychology, sociology, criminology and others, deal with these issues. Our goal is to point out the aggressive behaviour, bullying and prevention of these socio-pathological phenomena by pupils at schools.
