School violence is now considered not only as a problem for a victim and a offender
themselves, but also as a social problem that requires responsibilities of school, home,
society, and even nation. Crimes and risk factors are various inside and outside of school.
In terms of solving those problems, this study examines the actual condition of school
violence among students. In addition, it is considered what efforts are conducted by police
to establish a safe school environment and the problems that derive from it. Futhermore,
this study aims to discuss the ways of using the private security with regard to dealing with
school violence.
In this society, the expectation of security service from the police is increased as time
passed. However, police has limited resources, thus it is beyond their practice. Policing has
changed from being monopolized by government to cooperating with various security agents.
Community is not considered as the subject for enforcing the law anymore, but as the
cooperator for effective policing. With regard to the limitation of police force, using the
private security is an effective alternative. Therefore, it is required that private security should
be assigned legal authority and shared information with schools in order to patrol the blind
spot. Finally, school violence prevention efforts should be conducted by applying physical
and electronic security.
