| dc.description.notes | This editorial article seeks to summarise the World Health Organization’s first World Report on Violence and Health as its aims, strategies for the prevention of violence and conclusions apply to Australia. Zwi et al, authors of the WHO report itself, provide background information as presented in the report, offer definitions of violence and analysis of the report itself as well as a response to some of the issues raised in other papers analysing the WHO report. The report adopts an ecological model in examining the range of factors influencing the occurrence of violence, identifying them on four levels: (a) biological and personal history factors within individuals; (b) the effect of relationships on violent behaviour; (c) the community context and how it shapes social networks, reflects social inequalities and determines the influence of the illegal drug trade; (d) societal factors which determine the extent to which violence is encouraged or inhibited. Such a model also suggests the direction prevention efforts should take. Local, national and global efforts need to be developed in collaboration with the various interested sectors in order to achieve maximum effect and it is suggested that in the national context a specific organisation be mandated to monitor and report on progress. The article stresses the importance of violence being seen as a public health issue and notes that violence prevention is not seen as a public health priority in Australia, using examples to illustrate both Australia’s impressive history in violence prevention as well as its failures in this area. | en |
