Key Findings
Full Description

The article comes from the author's doctoral research on violence in secondary schools of the Port-au-Prince district. It aims to show how pupils express at school the violence they suffer at home. The study is qualitative and rests on four group interviews and fourteen individual interviews with pupils, followed by five individual interviews with school staff.

The results establish a link between violence suffered in the family and its expression at school, and show that school actors encourage pupils' violent behavior by their reactions. The author states that the results cannot be generalized to the Haitian population because the research is qualitative.
