Abstract

The discussion about the boundaries between incivility as opposed to the concept of violence and crime are aspects to be treated both as to the legislation in a historical perspective. Such limits may contribute to the definition of referrals of conflict situations at school that actually clearing the school should refer to organs such as the Child Protection Agency and police stations and that it is pedagogical issue that the school is able to instruct and to reaffirm its role as educator.
