This module addresses three key questions: What is violence? How can we understand why it takes place? What can be done to reduce social harms? You will study the patterning of violence, its causes, and the social responses to it. You will learn to understand it from many academic perspectives and to critically appreciate methodologies for assessing harm. A deliberately broad range of violence is considered, including violence taking place in inter-personal communications, organizational behaviour, physical conflict, and symbolic representations.
There are no pre-requisites or co-requisites for this module.
