By what criteria is punishment for school violence determined?

You have inquired about punishment for school violence. In a mutual school violence case like yours, both students become both victims and offenders.

If school violence has occurred, the School Violence Countermeasures Deliberation Committee at the relevant Office of Education deliberates on the case and takes measures against the offending student.

These measures vary according to the score totaled for each case, and the higher the score, the heavier the punishment that is imposed.

The criteria for punishment for school violence are judged based on five factors: the severity, persistence, intentionality, the degree of the offending student's remorse, and the degree of reconciliation of the school violence.

However, there are also mitigating and aggravating factors, such as the offending student's potential for rehabilitation or whether the victimized student has a disability, so you should respond with care.

In addition, both the School Violence Committee and police investigations are conducted in person.

Such face-to-face questioning can place a great psychological burden on children, and if they are questioned in an intimidated state, they may make unfavorable statements, so it is important to prepare a strategy to defend against punishment in advance and to respond accordingly.

However, since punishment for school violence may vary depending on the circumstances of the case, I recommend obtaining the assistance of a school violence attorney through a detailed consultation.
