摘要

Adolescent peer violence is a significant social issue, increasingly manifesting in physical, verbal, social, and digital forms, with cyberbullying and emotional manipulation becoming more prevalent. The role of educational institutions in violence prevention is essential; however, insufficient institutional support, weak inter-agency cooperation, and the declining authority of educators limit their effectiveness. Despite widespread awareness, formal education on peer violence prevention remains inadequate, emphasizing the need for structured intervention programs. This study leverages Lime Survey Community Edition 6.5.0, an open-source survey tool, to conduct a structured, anonymized survey with 415 participants, providing quantitative insights into peer violence trends. Additionally, five semi-structured interviews with students, teachers, and psychologists facilitated an in-depth exploration of experiences, perceptions, and institutional responses, while a focus group discussion gathered collective perspectives from specialists, educators, and parents. The use of a digital voice recorder with a transcription kit ensured accurate documentation and analysis of qualitative data. The findings highlight the importance of integrating technology into violence prevention efforts. Real-time monitoring and sentiment analysis enabled the identification of high-risk individuals and behavioral patterns, supporting targeted intervention strategies. In alignment with the 11th International Conference “New Technologies, Development, and Application” NT-2025, this research underscores the role of Industry 4.0 innovations in social sciences and education. By implementing data-driven strategies, automated reporting systems, and digital feedback mechanisms, policymakers and educational institutions can establish safer learning environments and more effective violence prevention frameworks.
