[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Junho] The Women and Youth Division of the Gwangju Dongbu Police Station recently announced on the 30th that it held a discussion forum titled "Schools Without Pain."

This forum was held to share opinions with student council executives from middle and high schools in the jurisdiction on preventing school violence, following the lifting of COVID-19 social distancing measures, which led to a return to normal school attendance and increased outdoor activities among youth.

Focusing on the topic of school violence, the forum analyzed types of school violence crimes, frequently occurring cyber violence, and recent issue crimes. Participants discussed the causes of crimes as perceived by youth, solutions, and expectations from the local community and police.

Regarding school violence prevention education, there was also an opinion that, rather than rote learning, effective education should involve students directly researching relevant laws, punishments, and disciplinary measures related to recent cases to raise their own awareness.

A Dongbu Police Station official stated, "We held this event to hear directly from the actual users of school violence prevention, the youth," and added, "We will refer to the various opinions expressed today to promote prevention policies tailored to the perspective of youth, striving to eradicate school violence."
