I need your comments and insightful opinion about the evolution of violence especially violence against women and vulnerable groups.
In Korea, two pieces of domestic violence legislation were introduced in 1997: the Special Act on Domestic Violence (referred to as the "Punishment Act"), and the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Victim Protection Act ("Protection Act"). Once the 'Punishment Act' and the 'Protection Act' were enacted, the government, police, prosecutors' office, courts, counseling centers and various types of shelters for victims all worked together to put these laws into practice. However, the rate of domestic violence has not decreased. Rather, it has increased. This is not because domestic violence itself has increased but because women no longer tolerate male violence and are more likely to report it to the police.
Dear Imrose Bin Muhit,
Thank you so much for your very nice and informative message.
In a beautiful dialogue between God Almighty and the angels in the cause of creation, "they say that I make them corrupt and shed blood" It appears that human nature has been found to be perverse and violent, and the first to illustrate the violence is the murder of his brother Abel, Abel's sons. Indicating that the violence found the beginning of creation
Yes, Mr Asim you are right. From this perspective, everything is happening by the supreme will of Allah.
Dear Awal Hossain Mollah,
One important aspect of how violence has evolved over the course of human history is related to the interplay of violence and social order. In modern western societies the relation of violence and social order is deeply related and intertwined with the development and diffusion of organizations. At least this can be seen and discussed as an important aspect of this.
If you are interested in the relation between violence and social order in human history a good reading is the following book:
North, D. C., et al. (2009). Violence and social order. A conceptual framework for interpreting recorded human history. New York, Cambridge University Press.
Even if I do not share all aspects of this book - especially the development of the so called open access societies has to be critically discussed - the book highlights convincingly the development of violence in relation to the question of social order.
Best,
Arnold
