Based on research results as foreign (works of A. Bandura, J. Korban, D. G. Levinson, R.D. Lang, N.E. Miller, F. Nietzsche, L.S. D. Finkelhor, Z. Freud, etc.), so domestic (researches of A.G. Ambrumov, LA. Baev, S.A. Belichev, E.N. Volkov, I.V. Dubrovin, D.I. Eliseev, I.S. Kon, G.E. Sukharev, E.A. Shcheulov, E.M. Cherepanova, etc.) scientists, we found it possible to point out the following areas of study of this issue: approaches of scientists to the interpretation of the concept of "violence", the study of violence types and forms, mechanisms and patterns of occurrence of violence as a form of people's relationship to each other, expressions of violence against the children. Summarizing the results of scientists' research we conclude that the violence experienced in childhood has the most severe consequences for a person (in particular, his full and optimal personal development). We determined the establishment of connection between the anxiety of the adolescents and the experience of violence as the targets of our study.
