- Violence has a social and financial impact on those countries that are plagued by it.
- Any thorough study of violence must first collect and analyze data that helps us make sense of marginalized communities.
- The Covid-19 crisis has shed light on what we call a “culture of violence”.
- Research is needed into structural changes with the potential to influence the evolution, form, intensity and frequency of violence today.
- There is a need for EXIT from violence programs to be drawn up (Disengagement, De-radicalization, Rehabilitation).
