WORKSHOP ON THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC COSTS
OF VIOLENCE: THE VALUE OF PREVENTION

April 28-29, 2011

APPROACH: This workshop will present an ecological life course framework for thinking about the impact of violence, to explore how the costs can be greater than typically conceived. Building from the individual to the community to the societal level, the workshop will examine the effect that violence has on development. Speakers will explore the ways in which a community can mitigate violence or the associated impacts.

OBJECTIVES:

To examine the social and economic costs of violence through a common framework that accounts for both life course and ecological impacts.
To explore the value of preventing violence through early interventions, multisectoral responses, and community-based approaches.
