Document Summary

Violence, domination and the agonistic configuration of society. Ppl disagree with the meaning of the term violent types of violence: physical destruction, macro violence, psychological abuse, manipulation, violence connected with harm, violation** statistics can be manipulated. Violence is a difficult complex (takes many form and is hard to define) Dark figure of crime (unknown figure->crimes that go unnoticed or unreported) War (war on everything drugs, poverty)-> flawed reasoning bc when u go to war u are not likely to solve the problem. Violence cannot be a tool for change. Violence often justified even in places that wont work. Micro violence and macro violence some ppl think violence is pleasant. Violence is existing in our human social relations bc it is a part of our biological structure criminal behaviour is learned. Violence comes from physiological, economic, social experiences. Ppl take the term biological to extreme.
