Appendix A Workshop Agenda THE CONTAGION OF VIOLENCE—A WORKSHOP APRIL 30-MAY 1, 2012 OVERVIEW: The contagion of violence is a universal phenomenon, occurring at all levels of society and affecting a broad spectrum of individuals. This workshop will present an interdisciplinary, ecological, life-course per- spective on the contagion of violence, the processes that promote it, and mechanisms to interrupt and prevent the contagion of violence and promote the contagion of nonviolence. OBJECTIVES: • To examine the extent of contagion of violence, the different emotional and cognitive processes through which contagion occurs, and the social and structural moderators of the conta- gion of violence. • To explore the role of exposure to violence and violent victim- ization in the spread of interpersonal and self-directed violence and of internalizing and externalizing psychological problems. • To understand how the contagion of violence can be inter- rupted and prevented and how nonviolence can become contagious. 147

How does the contagion of violence manifest across types of violence? How are types of violence interrelated? Conversely, how can the spread of violence be halted or prevented?
