Trauma, cycles of violence and prevention

The UN and World Bank place increasing emphasis on preventing violence, given its enormous social, emotional and economic costs. Much attention has been given to address grievances and create institutions to help prevent violence. But the role of trauma and its adverse impact on behavior and attitudes remains under-recognized. Exploring ways to interrupt the trauma-violence cycles is urgently needed, especially in the context of limited resources.
