Violence in the school context is a phenomenon that has been strongly incremented and has also attracted the attention of researchers in the field. However, schools located in units of deprivation of freedom haven´t aroused the same interest, in spite of their already acknowledged importance in directing the students, specially teenagers, into non-transsgressive ways of living. This article focuses the violence directed to the teacher from his teenage students in the classroom, in the context of deprivation of freedom units. The research aimed at understanding the teachers´ perceptions on the phenomenon, discussing teaching-learning relationships marked by the characteristics of a school inside the prision system. To obtain the data, a questionnaire with structured and semi-structured questions was used, allowing us to find that, for the teachers, violence manifestations are mostly shown in a subtle manner and perceived as capable of directly affect their performance in the classroom.

Keywords : School violence; Teacher student interaction; Deprivation of freedom; Adolescents.
