Introduction
This unit examines complex social problems underlying interpersonal violence and the social, psychological and physical risks posed to individuals, groups and the community by this form of behaviour. The management of these risks concerning such matters as family violence, sexual offences, assault, wounding and grievous bodily harm is analysed and assessed. Policing policies and legal implications relevant to such matters are critically analysed and assessed, with particular attention paid to victimology through understanding the social characteristics of victims of violence and how these are related to the perpetrators of violence. Social and cultural issues, including intergenerational factors, and ethical considerations relating to both the victims and the perpetrators of violence are also examined.
