ABSTRACT
Introduction Chapter 3 introduced several correlates that appear to be strongly associated with violence. We began the discussion by rst exploring the concept of values and the immense preoccupation with material possessions. In addition, we explored the ežects of poverty, alcohol abuse, neglect, and low levels of education. Especially, when considered as components of a cyclical pattern, each variable contributes to the possibility of one engaging in violence as a means to reduce unpleasant emotion.
