Document Summary

Cure violence takes a three-pronged approach: detection/interruption of planned violent activity, behavior change of high-risk individuals, and changing community norms. Law and dispute resolution: a note on terminology. A dispute is preceded by several stages: grievance or pre-conflict stage: situations groups find unjust/depend on perception. May lead to conflict or may go away: conflict stage: aggravated party confronts the offending party. Dyadic stage because it involves two parties: dispute stage: involvement of a third party: agent of settlement, monadic; dyadic; triadic, at any stage some can drop the dispute. Can go from 1 to 3 without going through 2: dyad to triad where an intermediary who stands outside the original conflict has been added to the dyad, the stages are not always clear cut. From perspective of law, disputes are settled, rather than processed; conflicts are resolved rather than managed or regulated.
