Violence prevention is a field of research and practice focused on reducing the occurrence and impact of various forms of violence, including interpersonal violence, intimate partner violence, youth violence, and community violence. Researchers in this area study risk factors and protective factors associated with violence, as well as ways to intervene and prevent violent behavior. This can include developing and implementing programs and policies aimed at addressing underlying causes of violence, promoting healthy relationships and communication skills, and providing support and resources to individuals and communities affected by violence. Violence prevention research aims to improve safety, well-being, and overall quality of life for individuals and communities.
