Violence
Violence refers to physical behaviors that intentionally inflict harm, injury, or destruction to oneself, others, or objects[1]. It is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon with a broad spectrum of manifestations, from self-harm and interpersonal violence to collective acts of aggression, such as war or terrorism. Violence can result in physical and psychological trauma, or even death.
Types of Violence
Self-directed Violence
Self-directed violence includes self-harm, suicidal behavior, and self-abuse. This form of violence often stems from mental health issues such as depression or personality disorders[2].
Interpersonal Violence
Interpersonal violence occurs between individuals and includes forms like domestic violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and assault. It is often categorized into family and intimate partner violence, and community violence[3].
Collective Violence
Collective violence refers to violence committed by larger groups of individuals and can be subdivided into social, political, and economic violence. Examples include acts of terrorism, organized violent crime, and war[4].
Causes of Violence
Violence is a complex interplay of individual, relational, social, cultural, and environmental factors. These include personal history of violence or abuse, psychological or personality disorders, socio-economic inequalities, cultural norms supporting violence, and weak rule of law, among others[5].
Prevention and Management
Preventing violence requires a comprehensive, multi-level approach. This includes strengthening individual skills and capacities, promoting healthy family environments, improving social and economic policies, and fostering a peaceful and inclusive societal ethos[6]. Management of violence involves legal, medical, and psychological intervention.
