There are a number of factors that can influence the increase in the probability of occurrence, development and manifestation of violent behavior, but also increase the vulnerability of young people to various negative impacts - risk factors, as there are a number of factors that can prevent the occurrence of violent behavior in risky situations and unfavorable conditions - protective factors. Their identification, analysis of the area, and intensity of action is a prerequisite for effective plans and prevention strategies, as well as treatment of already outbreaks of behavioral disorders. The authors of this paper emphasize, analyze and critically re-examine the safety of young people through the prism of the risk and protection factors involved in youth security issues. Measuring sources of vulnerability in the Sarajevo Canton educational institutions is a fundamental subject of research, while the development and implementation of mechanisms that would reduce violence among the high school population to the smallest extent possible is a complementary subject of research. The paper deals with the security issues of secondary school students in the Sarajevo Canton. In essence, continuous research into ways, procedures, and tools to raise the level of youth safety is the basis for successful building and maintaining a high quality of security management. The crucial issues that are analyzed in this paper are in the domain of timely identification and adequate response regarding, above all, the presence and frequency of violence among peers in secondary schools, forms of occurrence, the extent of violence that occurs in schools and the information that students have about this problem. but also the response of the system of protection in the school and society.
