Violence prevention refers to strategies and practices aimed at reducing the risk of violence in communities and among individuals. This can include educational programs, community engagement, and policy changes that address the root causes of violence, such as poverty, inequality, and lack of access to resources. Effective violence prevention often involves collaboration among various sectors, including law enforcement, schools, and healthcare providers. Initiatives may focus on conflict resolution, mental health support, and promoting positive relationships, ultimately fostering safer environments for everyone.
