학교특성이 학교폭력 가해 및 피해에 미치는 영향 : 다수준 분석의 적용

A multi-level analysis on the school characteristics associated with in-school delinquency and in-school victimization

This study aims to identify differences in school delinquency between schools and factors contributing to the differences. This study empirically examines the factors to account for a range of effects on school violence and to explain both school delinquency and its victimization, in school-level. Outcomes of this study are as followed. First, an individual-level model is more suitable to explain school delinquency than a school-level model. In terms of school violence victimization, both individual-level factors and some factors from school-level model can explain the victimization. Second, individual level-factors including sex, grade, friends’ smoking/drinking habits, avoidance of delinquents, deviant life-style, and victimization experience constitute the model with strong explanatory power to school delinquency, while factors, namely sex, grade, family financial status, friends’ drinking/smoking habits, protective behaviors, deviant life-style, and violence in school setting are statistically significant to explain the victimization. These outcomes imply that focus of school intervention against school violence needs to be switched to protecting potential victim rather than curbing potential offender. Considering that an increasing level of disorganization in school affects that of the victimization, countermeasure should be put in a way to organize and control in-out side of school settings. Also, human right education to raise awareness in care for the disadvantaged is need to be conducted in individual-level.
