1.Violence-a universal
challenge
No country or community is
untouched by violence.
Violence is an extremely diffuse and
complex phenomenon.
Violence divides into three broad
categories: self-directed violence ;
interpersonal violence; and collective
violence.

The impact of violence

Violence can occur in all locations .
Violence occurs most often in
communities with racial and
discrimination problems.
The impact of violence can leave
severely psychological injuries.

The forms and context of

violence
Interpersonal
violence
Violence against
young people
Child abuse
Violence against
women
Abuses of the
elderly

Self-directed
violence
Magnitude of the
problem
Suicide

Violence against women

Each year in the
United States,
about 2 million
women are
severely beaten
by their partner.

Violence against young

people
Young people
are often the
ones most
affected by
violence , while
at the same time
juvenile crime
also raising.

Child abuse
Child Protective
Service (CPS)
agencies
investigated
more than
3,25 million
reports of child
abuse in 2001.

Self-directed violence
In much of the world, suicide is
stigmated and in some countries
suicidal behaviour is a criminal
offence punishable by law.
An estimated 815 000 people
worldwide killed themselves in 2000.

Violence in schools in
the USA
The threat of
attacks in
schools can
create fear and
disorder
among
students and
teachers.

Influence of games with

violence on childrens
The popularity of violent video

games has raised concern for

many, and it has been suggested
that playing these games may
affect children in meaningful,
lasting, and harmful ways .

In the end
Over all I want to sustain my
opinion that the phenomenon of
violence got to stop .
I refuse the thought that we and
in future our children ,will live a
life in fear and violence .
