Intergroup Violence
Intergroup violence refers to conflicts and aggressive actions that occur between different social, ethnic, or cultural groups. This type of violence can manifest in various forms, including riots, wars, and hate crimes. Factors contributing to intergroup violence often include competition for resources, historical grievances, and social identity dynamics.
Such violence can have devastating effects on communities, leading to loss of life, displacement, and long-term psychological trauma. Understanding the root causes and dynamics of intergroup violence is essential for developing effective conflict resolution strategies and promoting social cohesion among groups, such as ethnic minorities or religious communities.
