The main objective is to describe and contextualize the violence concept of fundamental education teachers. It was also intended to compare the results obtained with teachers of public and particular schools. The data was obtained through semi-structured interviews with 47 teachers of four schools, two of them public and two particular. A category system, extracted by the data, allowed to describe and contextualize the violence concept that, according to the results, can be characterized, mainly, by the classes of delinquency and structural violence; by the modalities of marginal, scholar and familiar violence; and by the forms of physical aggression, robbery and verbal aggression. The differences between teachers of public and particular school were related to characteristics of their work environment.
