Im Zentrum des Bandes steht der Diskurs über Gewalt und Gewaltverhältnisse in der Erziehungswissenschaft und die Feststellung, dass es sich hier um ein konstantes pädagogisches Problem handelt. Die erziehungswissenschaftlichen Diskussionen haben sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten immer wieder mit den unterschiedlichen Phänomenen und Strukturen von Gewalt auseinandergesetzt und dabei einerseits Differenzierungen zwischen körperlichen und nicht-körperlichen Gewaltformen herausgearbeitet, andererseits unterschiedlichste – teils auch konzeptionell widersprüchliche – Theorien und Modelle der Gewaltprävention entwickelt. Der Verlauf dieser erziehungswissenschaftlichen Gewalt-Diskurse zeigt dabei, dass es sich um ein grundsätzliches Problem handelt, das gerade auf der Diskussionsebene der Allgemeinen Erziehungswissenschaft von hoher und struktureller Relevanz ist.
