Violence is defined by the World Health

Organization as the intentional use of physical force

or power, threatened or actual, against a person, or

against a group or community, that either results in

or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death,

psychological harm or deprivation.

Direct violence: The most visual form, hurting people

physically by war, beating people, abuse, mobbing, etc.

It can either be experienced yourself or seen on the

street but it can as well be ‘transmitted’ by movies,

games, etc.

Cultural violence makes direct and structural violence look or feel "right," or at least not wrong, according to Galtung . The

study of cultural violence highlights the way in which the act of

direct violence and the fact of structural violence are legitimized and

thus made acceptable in society. One mechanism of cultural violence

is to change the "moral colour" of an act from "red/wrong" to

"green/right," or at least to "yellow/acceptable."

Self-directed violence: Self-directed violence is subdivided into suicidal

behavior and self-abuse

Interpersonal violence: Interpersonal violence is divided into two subcategories:

Family and intimate partner violence – that is, violence

largely between family members and intimate partners
