Peer violence is an everyday phenomenon. If the problem is not adequately treated, the consequences that it leaves on the child's physical and mental state are quite high. A great impact on dealing with peer violence problems have pedagogues, who can help both victims and violators through counseling, and that is why the aim of this research was to examine their role in managing peer violence. The intention was to examine the difference in handling peer violence and using preventive measures between the pedagogues in urban schools and those who work in schools in smaller places in the Zadar county. Also, the roles, competencies and pedagogues' cooperation with students' parents was examined. It can be said that pedagogues in urban schools to a large extent encounter peer violence, mainly the verbal one and less the physical violence. In the struggle with violence, both pedagogues in urban schools and schools in smaller area usually use preventive programs and implement them during the homeroom classes. Pedagogues claim that they did not acquire the necessary knowledge for counseling during study, but through experiences and advice of their senior colleagues and attendance of additional seminars and traning programs they compensated for this lack. In addition, in the fight against peer violence, it is important to have good cooperation with parents, because parents are the first responsible for raising their children. In this research pedagogues evaluate their cooperation with parents as rather good.
