The paper presents the results of a secondary analysis of international comparative studies. The goal is to provide the empirical basis for discussions on the frequency and severity of aggressive behavior in schools. The data used come from the TIMSS (Trends in International Math and Science Study) and the CRISP (Children's Rights International Study Project). The TIMSS, in addition to assessing knowledge, gathers a rich array of background information. In the students' background questionnaires there are also items measuring various types of aggressive behavior that students experienced in the last month prior to testing. Physical aggression, verbal aggression, and indirect aggression (e.g., stealing, exclusion from groups, and coercion) are included. These are the types of aggressive behavior most commonly found in schools and the research literature reveals that they are also related to children's and adolescents' achievement. The trends in answering these aggressive behavior items from 1995 to 2007 are analyzed separately for different age and gender groups. In addition to the perceptions of various aggressive behaviors, we also analyzed children's and adolescents' feelings of safety at school and on the way to school as measured by the CRISP. Aggressive behavior is one of the crucial issues in modern schooling and should therefore continue to be part of our research focus in the future.
