The study aims to discuss the management of school violence, whose growth has been observed in many studies. It is focused in this analysis the evolution of school violence, from the first records of its’ growth, until the most recent data. Then, the phenomenon is characterized in terms of its’ most frequent forms of expression, which also have varied throughout its evolution, going from depredation, initially the most common transgression, to violence against the person. It is also discussed the variables already identified by research as associated with the onset of school violence, such as size of the city, size of school and social inequality etc. This overview shows that in addition to the constant growth and spread in rates of school violence, the forms of expression have become increasingly explicit and personal. In front of this situation, we discuss the management of school violence, at a more general level, provided by public policies already implemented by the central government and some of the results already achieved, until more specifically at the scope of the school. In the same vein, the new challenges that violence brings to school are considered, which may not respond merely to restrictive measures, but that should mobilize all members of the community, in actions collectively decided and implemented.
