In addition, violent deaths are perceptibly more common in young adults than in any other stages of life. Violence is an aggressive behavior that is exerted with the intention of causing physical or psychological harm. Aggression (an explicit behavior) is a response to an emotional state. A permanent state of anger is known as hostility.
