Definition

  • Violence occurs among people of all ages, races, and socioeconomic brackets; no population is insulated from its effects. During the past decade, the nature of violence has changed, evidenced by an increase in domestic aggression, substance abuse, and gang and street violence and the growth of organized and wellfunded groups whose primary purpose is violence and territorial control.
