摘要：The paper provides an overview of consequences of peer violence among children and adolescents. It focuses on defining peer violence, exploring the frequency of the problem as well as on determining the characteristics of children exposed to violence, children who are perpetrators of violence and children who are victims of violence but commit it as well. Consequences of violence on both violent children and children exposed to violent behaviour are analysed. The paper emphasises the fact that such an experience has a psychological effect on all individuals involved in peer violence (perpetrators of violence, victims of violence or individuals who are both victims and perpetrators). Therefore the central theme of this article relates to psychological consequences of peer violence on children and adolescents involved.
