DEFINITION OF VIOLENCE:
“The planned use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury and death.”

TYPES OF VIOLENCE:
1) Self-directed violence refers to violence in which the person behind and the victim are the same individual and is subdivided into self-abuse and suicide.

The former category includes child maltreatment; intimate partner violence; and elder abuse, while the latter is broken down into acquaintance and stranger violence and includes youth violence; assault by strangers; violence related to property crimes; and violence in workplaces and other institutions.
