A quantitative study on the culture of violence amongst learners in South African schoolsVan der Merwe, Nicola 04 1900 (has links)
The focus of this thesis falls on school violence. The research addresses the
possibility that a culture of violence exists amongst some South African
school-going youth. The researcher identified the attitudes and behaviour of
learners towards violence as indicators of the culture of these learners. The
research specifically focused on the pro-violence attitudes and violent
behaviour of learners. The definition of ‘culture’ which was employed suggests
the link between a person’s attitude, behaviour and culture. Information was
gathered through literature and empirical research. The data was collected by
means of a questionnaire with closed-ended questions and a well-tested tool,
namely the Attitudes towards Violence Scale. The results of the empirical
research were analyzed with the SPSS Windows data editor computer
program. Conclusions and recommendations regarding school violence were
made. In addition, a programme to curb such violence was proposed. Some
suggestions for further research into this subject were also advanced. / Criminology and Security Science / M.A. (Criminology)
