Ted Henderich (2002), defines violence as a use of physical force that injures, damages, violates
or destroys people or things, while Manfred Steger (2003) points out that violence “comprises a
range of meanings, including “to force”, to injure”, to dishonor and to violate.
According to the forty-Ninth World Health Assembly (1996). Violence is one of the major and
growing Public health problem. The world report on violence and Health (WRVH) and the
associated Global Campaign on Violence Prevention have together pushed violence onto the
public agenda. (Alexander Butchart). Professor Paul A. M. Van Lange (2017) attributed violence
and aggression according to climate in that world wide, there are substantial differences within
and between countries in aggression and violence.
Although there are various exceptions, a general rule is that aggression and violence increase as
one moves closer to the equator, which suggests the important role of climate differences ( Maria
I. Rinderu 2017). New data from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) show that well
over 100000 people were killed in organized violence in the year of 2014, which is the highest
fatality count in twenty years (Erik Melander, Director) | en_US |
