진화심리학의 관점에서 본 학교폭력의 원인과 입법적·정책적 대책

This paper tries to examine factors inducing school violence from anevolutionary psychological perspective on the assumption that someother methodology than social and environmental analysis should becarried out to prevent and cope with school violence more efficiently. In general, criminological theories are usually framed in sociologicalterms but always entail psychological assumptions. Psychologicalaccounts, in their turn, entail assumptions about the adaptive design ofevolved mental mechanism and processes. Thus, explicit attention torecent theory and research on psychology and evolution can sometimes help us generate productive hypotheses. School violence is oneof the illustrative ones. We believe that evolutionary insights should not be viewed asalternatives to sociological and psychological analyses but ascomplementary components of a more complete understanding. Fromthese methodology this paper suggested several counter measures forschool violences including autonomous student court, music therapy,and revision of some related regulations.
