Aggression

27.8K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

37
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Criminology
  • Trauma Studies

Background:

  • Community violence, defined as violence between unrelated individuals outside the home, frequently leads to assaultive injuries.
  • Effective interventions are crucial for preventing injuries and supporting victims of community violence.
  • Trauma-informed care is essential for the success of community violence intervention programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the effectiveness of community violence interventions.
  • To highlight the importance of trauma-informed care.
  • To explore place-based environmental interventions and address substance use as a barrier.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing community violence intervention strategies.
  • Analysis of the role of trauma-informed care in intervention success.
  • Examination of place-based environmental approaches and substance use challenges.

Main Results:

  • Community violence interventions demonstrate potential in preventing assaultive injuries and assisting victims.
  • Trauma-informed care is foundational for successful intervention outcomes.
  • Place-based environmental interventions show promise for population-level violence reduction, though further research is needed.
  • Substance use presents a significant barrier to intervention program engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Community violence interventions, particularly those incorporating trauma-informed care and place-based strategies, are vital for public health.
  • Further research and program development are necessary to overcome substance use barriers and enhance intervention effectiveness for individuals impacted by community violence.
