ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses problems such as urban violence and inequality are best developed locally. This is because issues of crime, violence, inequalities, and poverty are rarely resolved through technical means alone. The book illustrates, these problems are often embedded in structural, legal, social, and political norms and practices. It provides rich description and detailed analysis of the extent to which structural, state, and physical interpersonal violence are normalised in specific contexts. The contexts are, violence against women and girls, ranging from verbal abuse by male and female family members to structural violence and discrimination to shocking interpersonal violence in public and private, and normalisation of violence. The book also illustrates the inter-linkages between social, political, and economic forms of inequality, exclusion, and violence.
