Domestic Violence
The purpose of this analysis is to provide a wide introduction to the problem of injury in
the U.S. , and help in the development of an innov ative way of thinking about commencing a plan
for injury prevention. Although injur ies are a major problem in the United States, they can as easily
be prevented. There are a lot of mode ls that work in prevention of b oth i ntentional and
unintentional injuries.
Creation of a warm and welcoming environment is an effective strategy in pre venting
incidences of violence at the community level. This strategy aims at addressing problems at a
community level, concentrating on the development of structured and supervised opportunities for
community members and addressing various kinds of violence through multiple types of solutions .
An entire community should be treated like a patient instead of individual -based treatment
strategies. Taking a social environment prevention strategy means that there is focus on prevention
of violence. This illustrates that apart from attaching importance in developing formal laws to
punish violence perpetrators, prevention of violence is a ke y element. Therefore, approaches
should be aimed at averting the incidence of both violence and injury cases in the first place.
Regulation is also an effective element in preventing unintentional injuries. Th is involves
passing policies related to servin g alcohol, policies for legal driving age, worker safe ty policies
and concealed weaponr y laws. These efforts res ult in a reduction of incidents on injuries. The
most important concept is that there are numerous ways in which a community and people , at an
individual level , can intervene to prevent injuries and violence in communities. The social
environment is very important and issues of violence should be displayed on mass media to
discourage such behaviors , while also sensitizing people on the same .
