Resumen:
Sumario:The present study replicates a previous one done 10 years ago at primary public schools of Buenos Aires City. Data was obtained about children who might be suffering any kind of abuse in their family or violence between peers or groups in school settings. Analyze was made between abuse and age, gender, kind of abuse, risk factors, learning and behavior problems, and rate of children in treatment. 1590 cases were detected, for a 36% increase in detection rate. Careful evaluation must be made because this raise might be related with training in detection as well as increasing violence in social and cultural context.
