Series: Ethics and Policies

Violence in its myriad forms remains a persistent and devastating challenge for individuals, communities and societies worldwide.

We seek to explore in depth the psychological roots of individual violence, including mental illness, anger management issues and the significant role of substance abuse in triggering or escalating violent behaviour. We analyse specific examples, delving into the motivations behind acts of aggression to illuminate the complex interplay of factors that contribute to such behaviour. We then broaden our scope to examine the societal factors that give rise to community violence, including social inequalities, economic hardship, gang activity and the influence of cultural and ideological differences. The analysis will include a deep dive into the complex dynamics of gang violence and disputes, highlighting the impact of community disorganisation. The discussion will also extend to the profound consequences of violence at both individual and societal levels, examining the long-term physical and psychological effects on victims, the economic costs, and the erosion of trust and social cohesion within communities. We will outline comprehensive strategies for violence prevention and intervention, emphasising the need for multi-stakeholder collaboration and highlighting the effectiveness of community-based initiatives, educational programmes and policy recommendations. Ultimately, we hope to contribute to a more informed and effective approach to reducing violence and building safer, more peaceful communities for all.
