Why do people hurt and kill others? In this paper, we shall explore in a structured manner, the meaning of violence, and peep into the difference between physical and non-physical violence. The types of Physical Violence will be discussed in detail. We shall finally try to analyze and get at the root cause of violence of different kinds.
In this compelling and timely book, Larry Ray offers a wide-ranging and integrated account of the many manifestations of violence in society. He examines violent behaviour and its meanings in contemporary culture and throughout history. Introducing the major theoretical debates, the book examines different levels of violence - interpersonal, institutional and collective - and different forms of violence - such as racist crime, homophobic crime and genocide. It provides readers with a succinct and comprehensive overview of its nature and effects, and the solutions and conflict resolutions involved in responses to violence. Interdisciplinary in its approach, the text draws on evidence from sociology, criminology, primate studies and archaeology to shed light on arguments about the social construction and innate nature of violence. Engaging, wide-reaching and authorative, this is essential reading for students, academics and researchers in sociology, criminology, social pyschology and cultural studies.

The modern civilization feels satisfied by adopting several masking habits to hide their originalities. Along with some good practices, the entire time generally indulged themselves in the destructing habits in an enormous quantity. In order to satisfy their virtual existence, they are very much prone to adopt several non-senses & in human practices, which can endangered their gross productivity in a certain extent. Day by day they are continuously pushed themselves within the quicksand of ignorance, aggression, anger, violence & humiliation. The entire society is becoming blood thirsty day by day. Most violence is preventable, not inevitable. There is a strong evidence base, grounded in research and community wisdom that prevention works. Violence is a problem that can be prevented using a scientific approach similar to what is used to address other health problems, such as heart disease or smoking related illnesses. A prevention approach often incorporates six components: 1) Choosing a focus; 2) Prioritizing risk and resilience factors; 3) Convening community partners to better understand the problem and solutions; 4) Developing a multifaceted plan; 5) Implementing the plan; and then 6) Evaluating efforts. It is the high time to take possible steps as the remedial measures to transcend this monster, named VIOLENCE. There is no pride to become violent; rather it must be the weakness of that particular person. With the violence, we are just violating our basic human rights. This paper is concentrating on the aetiology and remedial measures in order to transcend violence in its whole extent.

This document is the one of a series of technical notes that describe the nature and magnitude of violence in the region, its causes and effects, and how it can be prevented and controlled. The notes provide useful information on designing programs and policies to prevent and deal with violence. This note focuses on the causes of violence. The authors hold that violence is a complex phenomenon that has not one but many causes. Hence there is no single solution or response. In order to decrease the incidence of violence, one needs to identify the numerous factors that are associated with the phenomenon and implement a set of solutions designed to address the different root causes. The point of departure in the search for solutions must be an analysis of the factors that promote violence (risk factors) as well as the factors that inhibit violence (protection factors). This is the main task of this document.
