School violence runs rampant

A new survey by the MARC research highlights alarming statistics on youth violence in Greece, with schools being the location of seven out 10 incidents. 

Conducted for ANT1, the disturbing study reveals that 68.1% of such incidents occur in schools, while 26.4% take place on the streets and 22% in other public spaces.

Interestingly, 24.1% of respondents reported incidents within family environments, with 74.9% of respondents denying any such occurrences in the home.

The survey also notes that 59.2% of participants believe the Safe Youth hotline and app help address these issues, though additional measures are necessary.
