There is no excusing violence. And responsibility for violence crime starts and ends with those doing it.
Recently I’ve been reading a lot about how we can moderate our behaviour to help others ‘feel’ safe.
But there’s a difference between feeling safe, and being safe. And the solution to the latter is a lot more complex and long term.
And it starts by asking difficult questions on how we see violence.
So - is violence a societal disease?
And what can we do about it?
