Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine the relationship between students’ neighborhood and aggressive behaviour exhibited by secondary school learners. Students are not immune to aggressive behaviour, either as perpetrators or victims because may live in communities with varied behaviors for most of their lives depending on where they come from. The issue of where a student comes from or grows up from is of great concern to educators. The study aims at determining if continual exposure may desensitize students and encourage them to accept aggressive acts as a normal mode of conflict resolution. On the other hand, they may be emotionally damaged by the experiences of violence, repeated harassment or the witness of the death or brutal treatment of relatives. It was noted that the community climate was making a significant contribution to the aggressive behaviour of students in secondary schools
