Methodology: The guiding question involved "What are the factors that are associated with the perpetuation of violence against children and adolescents in the school environment?". The literature search was carried out in the "Medline", "Web of Science", "Lilacs" and "Scopus" databases. Data collection took place through complete reading, evaluation of titles, abstracts and elimination of duplicate articles. The critical analysis of the selected studies was based on the levels of evidence. The discussion of the results took place through data triangulation. The presentation of the review took place through the descriptive model, through the principles of scientific communication. Results and Discussion: 15 articles were selected that enabled the construction of 3 thematic categories based on the guiding question and object of study, involving: (1) Sociodemographic profile of those involved in school violence; (2) Risk factors for school violence; and, also, (3) Main causes of victimization. Final considerations: It is important to have educational strategies in listening to adolescents, enabling co-responsibilities in the processes of construction of the school scenario, through individual and collective awareness, collaborating to reduce violence against children and adolescents in the school environment.
