| Sommario/riassunto: | This book explores the public health approach to preventing interpersonal violence, focusing on its application in England and Wales. Authored by experts in criminology, the work examines the history, current practices, and future directions of this approach. It provides an in-depth analysis of Violence Reduction Units (VRUs), their development, and the challenges they face. The authors argue for a more comprehensive and coordinated strategy to address violence, emphasizing evidence-based interventions and multi-agency collaboration. The intended audience includes policymakers, researchers, and professionals in public health, criminology, and social policy, seeking to develop safer societies through informed strategies for violence prevention. |
