Between March 1 and 15, 2015, this questionnaire investigation was conducted into 144 students who attended elementary school, middle school, academic high school, and specialization high school in Incheon Metropolitan City. It was carried out through investigators who visited their alma meters and neighboring high schools and explained the students about the aim of this research and how to respond to the questionnaire. Then, in cooperation and connection with each students' association, the questionnaire responses and anti-school violence campaigns were analyzed and the following results were acquired. 1. To the question ‘Have you ever experienced any school violence?,’ 48 students (33.3%) answered ‘I have’ and 96 students (66.7%) ‘I have not.’ 2. To the question asked to the said responding 48 students, ‘In which way have you asked help as you experienced a school violence?,’ 12 students (8.3%) answered ‘I have recourse to counseling with my school teacher,’ 12 students (8.3%) answered ‘I have recourse to counseling with my school parent’ 6 students (4.2%) ‘I have recourse to counseling with my peers,’ and 18 students (12.5%) ‘I have not asked for any counsel or help.’ 3. To the question asked to the responding 30 students who had asked for counsel or help, 'How much helpful was the counsel or help given from others?,' 6 students (4.2%) answered 'Very helpful and 24 students (16.7%) answered 'Helpful.' 4. Concerning the registration of school violence-related punishments in school records, to the question ‘What do you think about the attitude of students who respond to an annual and national investigation into school violences?,’ 120 students (83.3%) answered ‘Students give a candid answer as they have witnessed or experienced.’ 5. Concerning the effectiveness of the first-ever systematic anti-school violence education, to the question ‘How much effective is it to systematically educate students on the fact that even a slight harassment is a violence?,’ 54 students (37.5%) answered ‘The education is interesting from the perspective of students,’ and 72 students (50.0%) answered ‘It is no more than a formal education but still of help,’ and 18 students (12.5%) answered ‘It is of no help.’ 6. Concerning the practice or non-practice of an education given around the meal table, to the question ‘Is a relevant education practiced around the meal table each Wednesday when all members of the family gather and celebrate a family love day?,’ 96 students (66.7%) answered ‘It is practiced.’ 7. Concerning the effectiveness of comprehensive measures against school violences, to the question ‘How effective are comprehensive measures, you think, to exterminate or prevent school violences?,’ 12 students (8.3%) answered ‘They are of some help’ and 66 students (45.8%) answered ‘They are of no help.’ The above-mentioned results imply that educational plans to prevent school violences should be set up more actively. In principle, each school need determine in detail who and when the education should be given, and concrete educational programs should be set up and shared by regional units. Since it may be hard for a school to decide on what should be taught, it is necessary for a regional educational committee to specify basic plans for what should be taught and/or educated. It means that regional units need prepare detailed regulations and/or operational guidelines about the appointment of alternative schools and/or exclusive education and research institutions.
