For this purpose, a case study of selected districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa¡± was carried out in districts Peshawar and Mardan with the sole purpose of eliciting the students¡¯ perception on violence. To understand gender based respondent¡¯s perceptions the variable of students attitude towards family role in school violence was restricted to three relevant sub-variables i.e. Students Consult Family in Matters of School Violence, Family Shows Interest in Issues of School Violence, and Friends/Peers are More Important than Family for Consultation in School Violence. Results of the study showed that family interest in school violence was non-significant with physical, psychological, sexual and economic violence.
