Students' violence recurs very often in Kenyan schools. Attempts to curb it do not seem to have succeeded. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing recurrence of violence in public secondary schools. The objectives of the study were: to determine the influence of peer pressure, drug abuse, school administration and gender differences on recurrence of violence.Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the findings were presented in frequency tables, histograms, bar graphs and pie charts. The study established that school administration was contributing to recurrence of violence in public secondary schools. Headteachers' poor communication strategies were found to be able to bring confusion, misunderstandings, and indecency among students hence contributing to recurrence of violence. Boys were found to be more rebellious than girls. Therefore, boys were more likely to initiate violence in schools. The researcher concluded that poor school management contributed more to recurrence of violence than other factors because poor communication strategies, drug abuse and peer pressure were factors that could be contained by the school management.
