Second, it is applied in nature, dealing with the development, implementation, and evaluation of procedures for assessing and managing violence risk.
Third, it reflects and promotes the values of interdisciplinarity and internationalism, based on the view that preventing violence requires collaborations that cross professional and, in many cases, political boundaries.
