Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Violence is a global problem, impacting societies and affecting the lives of millions of people. Violence places a massive burden on different countries’ economies, costing billions of euros each year to the healthcare and criminal justice systems. Family and workplaces are two of the main contexts of violence, severely impacting the individuals’ physical and mental health, affecting their productivity and, therefore, the nations’ economy. At national and international levels, there is a growing concern regarding violence prevention and intervention to increase individuals’ and societies’ safety, decrease the risk of violence, and improve individuals’ abilities to cope adequately with the negative impact of the different forms of violence. Prevention and intervention efforts to deal with family violence include programs directed at children, parents, victims, offenders, couples, or families, based on different approaches (e.g., cognitive–behavioral, psychoeducational), modalities (e.g., individual, group), and implemented in different settings (e.g., school, community, prison). Interventions for workplace violence prevention include prevention, protection, and treatment approaches, aiming to reduce the risk of violence or improve the handling of violent incidents, and can be implemented at an environmental, organizational, and/or behavioral level. Papers addressing these topics are invited for this Special Issue, especially those focusing on innovative intervention and/or prevention responses to deal with family and workplace violence.
