Abstract: The idea of this research is to identify the underlying causes for campus violence phenomenon and accordingly developing solutions and suggestions for this phenomenon. This study attempted to identify reasons for campus violence through the lenses of students who are involved in violence in their universities. The research was based on a questionnaire and the study population consisted of students who participated in campus violence during the academic year (2015-2016) in the Hashemite University in in Jordan. The results of the study revealed many causes that lead to violence inside the university such as lack of religious and ethical restraints and poverty. One of the most important proposed solutions for this phenomenon is through enacting proper, suitable laws to hold accountable the perpetrators of the campus violence; cancellation of the student’s union elections; formation of a student’s council through recommending the first-rank students of different departments to carry out this task; enforcement of a compulsory course to teach students values of tolerance, cooperation and solidarity; adherence to religion, habits, traditions and laws and avoidance of nepotism and favoritism in accepting students in the university.
