Campus Violence: A Haphazard condition in Educational Institutions

What is Campus Violence?

According to Oxford Dictionary violence means, “The behaviour involving

or caused by physical force that is intended to hurt or kill somebody” and when the

violence occurrs in educational campus, it is called CampusViolence.

Violence is always prohibited and when it occurs in educational institutions, it is

Obviously distressing and crucial fact. Worldwide educational institutions are faceing

students are the main victim and they suffer a lot from this vicious type of incident.

Campus violence is actually a great quake for Educational sector. It hampers the

natural flow of education and students suffer a lot from this sadistic types of activity.The

causes of campus violence are vary from country to country. In this

South Asian sub-continent, in South America countries like Venezuela, Peru,

Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba and in some countries of Africa like Ghana, Egypt, South Africa,

Jamaica political issues are mainly responsible behind the campus violence and in

European nations mental instability of students and tendency to commit crime are the

main reasons of campus violence.

Campus Violence in Asia, Africa and South America:

In South Asia, South America and Africa campus violence mainly occurs for political

issues and instability. Manipulation of deceitful politicians and unethical practice of

student politics are responsible for it.The corrupt politicians use the students to achieve

their own interest particularly in Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and India.Students are

always active against any type of injustice. The language movement of 1952 and the

liberation war in 1971 in Bangladesh they had much contribution that is not describable

in words. But the present practice of student politics in Bangladesh doesn’t reflect their

previous glory. The purpose of student politics has changed at present time. So called

politicians use the students through different vicious issues. They invest huge sum of

money and make students agree to work for them. They give weapons to the students to

create a chaotic situation in the campus. “All major political parties and most political

leaders maintain armed cadres who are supplied by student fronts and factions.Some

biased followers don’t differentiate between right and wrong. They always obey their

leaders. When they get the chance, they invade their opposite groups and create political

unrest in the campus. They also get engaged in anti-social activities to show their

superiority. Sometimes they impose power on teachers and general students

Activities of Students:

Sometimes a few students create violence in campus to delay the exam. They

find any lame excuses and show their so-called agitation. They boycott their classes and

all regular activities are stopped. Moreover they vandalize the furniture and other

valuables to intensify their agitation. They violate the main rules and regulations of the

institutions. They actually do these types of activity to postpone their exams and classes.

Until the university authority postpone the exam, they continue their activity. In many

times some sly teachers are responsible for it. They encourage the students to do it. In

many probe report we can find their connection with violence All campus violence do not

occurr for vicious reasons. Sometimes general students involve with violence to protest

the injustice. Students always stand against injustice and they can’t tolerate any type of

wickedness and discrimination. They always come forward to protest it. They don’t

differentiate between their own or national issues. They always stand against any

foolhardy decisions of government. Sometimes governments post the police to restrain

their protests. Then a clash between general students and police sometimes occurs. Thus

it create unrest in the campus.

Campus Violence in Europe:

European nations are affluent with science and technology. They lead a very

modern life, so their life in most of the cases become mechanical. This impact is mostly

seen among students. Sometimes they become depressed and want their imagination

making true to imply it in their life Since they are habituated with different types of

virtual games and in most of the games are related with violence , so they want to make it

true in their real life which most of the cases occurrs in educational institutions. In 2008

at Virginia Tech, in 2007 at the University of Washington and in 2003 at Case Western

Reserve University many students died and were injured through the violent activities in

the campus
