After the American Civil War, General William Sherman stated, “War is hell!” All war, any war, takes a deadly toll on the two or more countries involved. A civil war, however, is a special kind of hell, for those who die are all citizens or residents of the same country. Wars, civil or otherwise, are usually fought over similar issues: racism, land, money, power, or fear. Oftentimes, conflicts occur over a combination of these issues. One such confrontation was the thirty-six-year civil war waged from 1960 to 1996 in the small Central American country of Guatemala.

The criminal activity of both family doctors lasted for many years – allegedly Harold Shipman was killing his patients over the period of 23 years; Peter Green was abusing his patients for over 17 years. Both men were arrested, convicted and sentenced for prison detention. Both cases sparked a wide public debate about the national Health System and the way it is regulated. Both cases show very clearly how difficult it was in NHS to spot and take action in cases such as this, because of the lack of proper systems for monitoring and regulating medical practice. Both cases have influenced changes into NHS regulations; Dr Shipman case introduced new measures, such as the rules surrounding the issuing of death certificates, have been implemented.

Sykes argues how the loss of freedom, heterosexual relationships, isolation and boredom leads inmates needing to engage in violence which is a reaction to the hurt they feel. Deindividuation may also account for a display of aggression. Removing an individual’s own clothes and replacing them with uniform plays a major part in depersonalising them. The removal of this individuality is more likely to dehumanise them. An example is in the Rwandan Genocide in which 800,000 Tutis were killed by Rwandan extremists.
Tens of thousands of them have died. Millions of others and their offspring suffer from diseases and live in poverty due to Agent Orange’s effect.

Violence As an author Richard Wright used his novel Black Boy to call upon citizens of the world to recognize the unjust exertions of force and power that were bestowed upon thousands of discriminated individuals. However the central focus of Wright’s novel was to show how racisms insidious nature creates an environment in which violence between people is inevitable. It was within this environment that Richard endures three stages of his life including initiation, acceptance, and the consequential chain reaction of terrible events. From the very beginning of the novel Wright is constrained into a world where violence encompasses his every move. In the very first chapter Richard is nearly beaten to death by his mother for setting the window
(UOP) What is historical trauma? Historical trauma is mixed between psychological and emotional pain that exists over the lifespan as well as generations (Raymond Daw). Atrocities and violence prey on the powerless and the weak. The normal victims tend to be children, women, the disabled, the poor and ethnic minorities. These victims tend to be the main point of interests for mass violence: enslavement, war, genocide as well as colonialism.
MALISSA HULME CMY 3705 29 AUGUSTUS 2011 SEMESTER 2: MODULE 1 ASSIGNMENT 01 FULLY DISCUSS REPEAT VICTIMISATION OR “VICTIM PRONESS” OF A PERSON, PLACE, VEHICLE OR TARGET 1) Explain The Statement Crime in South Africa poses one of the wounds that stain the face of post-apartheid in South Africa. Homicide, rape and indecent assault of women, men, and children and the elderly, as well as violent house and business robberies has conduced to multiple psychological traumas and distress, as well as a weakened sense of individual and community security within the South African population. The occurrence of crime in Cape Town between 1993 and 1997 indicates that 17 per cent of victims had been victimised more than once, either by the same crime type or another type of crime. This phenomenon is important to record as it raises a number of questions about crime prevention and how limited resources can be targeted most effectively. Repeat victimization occurs when the same person, household, place, business, vehicle or other target suffers multiple criminal incidents over a specified period of time (usually measured over a 12 month period).
