The increasing share of students in overall crime rates over the past few years indicates that the existing prevention and prevention system has failed. The rise in violence within educational institutions, including armed violence, is particularly concerning. A survey of practicing law enforcement officers revealed that the low level of preventive work carried out by departments is primarily due to a shortage of personnel, a lack of digital and methodological resources, and insufficient cooperation with other agencies. Therefore, the author proposes a set of socio-criminological measures aimed at improving the effectiveness of violence prevention within educational institutions.
