Generally, the conduct of students in public school is a deterrent to getting a good education. Violent behavior, drugs in school, and misbehaving students are distracting and break the learning environment for others. Violence in school creates an unsafe environment, and shifts the administrator's focus away from the curriculum towards solving the dilemma of violence. When the environment that surrounds the students is not secure they become more preoccupied with their own safety than they do
Code of Conduct The epic poem of “Beowulf” presents the characteristics of two heroes, Beowulf and Hrothgar. During this Anglo-Saxon time period, Hrothgar rules as the king of his Danish lands. However, this king faces many problems due to the disturbances of a monster known as Grendel.

childhood behavioural problems have long been thought to be a risk factor for future violence and antisocial behaviour. Specifically, conduct disorder (CD) is thought to be the precursor to antisocial personality disorder (APD) (Fergusson, Horwood, & Ridder, 2005).
