The website "Does violence concern me?" is focused on children aged 11-15 years and prevention of violence as one of the existing forms of social-pathological behaviour. The basic element of the website is the interactive tool, which allows individual assessment of knowledge and risks resulting from children's socio-pathological behaviour. Within the verifying phase of website poor children's knowledge concerning risk situations and risk behaviour were revealed.
The website is a contribution to a nationwide need to increase preventive activity in child violence prevention with the use of modern methods, attitudes and intervention.
