The Structure Of Violence In The School Environment As A Protest Semiotics A Study In The Sociology Of Stigma And The Erosion Of Social Bonds.

Authors : Cherrak Hamza .

Abstract

This study examines school violence through an integrative sociological perspective, viewing it as a behavioral chain resulting from weakened emotional security and learners’ alienation within the educational system. It argues that violence is not merely individual deviance but a structural reaction to systemic exclusion and symbolic violence. The findings highlight the limitations of punitive approaches and “zero tolerance” policies, which often intensify student stigmatization and deepen alienation. Consequently, the study advocates adopting the restorative justice paradigm as an alternative framework to rebuild social relationships and foster a supportive school climate that balances students’ mental well-being with academic achievement.
