Student violence against teachers is a serious phenomenon that has been insufficiently researched in Croatia at the scientific and professional level. Because teachers are in daily contact with students and play a significant role in their lives, it is essential to have a better understanding of the teacher-student relationship including violent practices in that relationship. A better understanding of how teachers experience violence in the workplace can help promote teacher well-being and improve interpersonal relationships for all school participants.Therefore, the main goal of this research is to examine the incidence of violent behavior of students towards high school teachers. The present research investigatesthe forms of violence, the consequences of violence and the satisfaction of teachers with the support provided were examined. Some characteristics of the victim and the perpetrator were also examined. The study included 136 high school teachers from 31 school in Primorsko Goranska county. The survey found that 76.5% of teachers had been victims of violence at least once in their careers. In the last three school years (2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20), teachers most often experienced verbal forms of violence, of which 52.9% of teachers were victims of insults, 53.7% of ridicule and 45.6% of victims of verbal threats. Other forms of violence are present to a lesser extent. Tests have shown that violence is significantly more common in men, teachers who have between 11 and 20 years of work experience, work in a school with a capacity of less than 200 students and in a smaller town. As a consequence of violence, teachers most often perceive increased levels of stress, helplessness, and fatigue. Half of the participants (50,5%) most often turn to a pedagogue or other teachers for help after violent incidents, and a third of them (27,2%) are not satisfied with the support provided and the measures taken. Research participants identified some of the common characteristics of students who are violent such as: male gender, poor school performance, alcohol and drug consumption, and low parental control and support. In the last part of the paper, the participants' suggestions on how to minimize school violence were analyzed.
