  • Study: Violence breeds more violence

    It's in german, I give a short summary at the end.

    US-Studie: Gewalt wie ansteckende Krankheit

    Jugendliche greifen viel eher zur Waffe, wenn sie selbst einmal Zeugen einer bewaffneten Auseinandersetzung waren. Das bestätigt eine US-Studie, die den Wurzeln gewaltsamen Verhaltens nachging.

    Ihr federführender Autor, der Sozialmediziner Felton Earls von der Harvard Universität in Boston, vergleicht Gewalt mit einer Infektionskrankheit: "Mit jedem gewaltsamen Verbrechen, das wir verhindern können, beugen wir einer Kaskade von Folgeverbrechen vor."

    Das persönliche Erleben von Gewalt verdopple bei jungen Menschen das Risiko eines eigenen Gewaltaktes innerhalb der folgenden zwei Jahre.
    ...
    Die Studie "Firearm Violence Exposure and Serious Violent Behavior" von Jeffrey B. Bingenheimer erschien im Fachjournal "Science" (Band 308, S. 1323-6, DOI: 10.1126/science.1110096).
    -> Zum Abstract der Studie (kostenpflichtig)


    Zeugenschaft der Gewalt als stärkster Faktor

    Die Untersuchung basiert auf Interviews mit 1.500 Kindern und Jugendlichen aus verschiedenen Stadtteilen von Chicago über eine Zeitraum von fünf Jahren und geht nach Angaben ihrer Autoren weit über die sonst üblichen Fragen hinaus.

    Demnach hat das Erlebnis einer gewaltsamen Konfrontation mehr Einfluss auf künftige gewalttätige Tendenzen eines jungen Menschen als alle anderen Faktoren von Armut über Drogenmissbrauch bis zur problematischen Familiensituation.

    Die Forscher verglichen junge Leute, die unter ähnlichen schwierigen Verhältnissen aufwuchsen, aber Zeugen oder auch nicht Zeugen einer Gewaltszene geworden waren.

    So some guy interviewed 1,500 kids in Chicago and concluded that if a kid is a witness of a violent event, it is more likely to be the cause of such an event within the next 2 years. He compares it to a contagious illness.

    I don't know why they mention 2 different names (one for the article and one who obviously has done the research).

    There is also a link to the article but it requires a subscription. My university unfortunately doesn't have one that allows to view this. It would be nice if one of the Polydemics with subscription could provide me with the document (per mail.. atagod § gmx dot at)

    what about video game violence?

    I guess it could work that way. It's like when I see 2 people having sex, it makes me want to have sex.

      Danke für die Übersetzung. Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut -- es ist kaputt. Young Striker sprict sehr gut Deutsch.


      Anyway good article. What's interesting about this is that it describes violence not in a generic way, but it goes to an actual violent EVENT.

        Interesting. It's surprising that witnessing violence is more important than drug abuse, family problems, or poverty.

          Doesn't this fall under the "obvious ****" category? Like studies showing that male and female brains are different?

                  you see this is why your european common identity is BS. Your thinking world is weird and sick.

                  Female and male brains are different. Period.

                  Yes they are more similar than male and donkey brain.

                  There is no 'more similar than different'. That just makes no sense.

                      I wrote that because

                      a. it is scientifically correct ( a guy with a beard said it on tv)
                      b. I knew it would get pekka going
                      (as scientifically correct things do )

                        no, because you are not making any sense. They are more similar than different? Well Duh, of course? Similar comparing to what? Different comparing to what?

                        It's like saying, well, brunette hair and blonde hair is actually more similar than different. Like for example, what the hell are you trying to say?

                        When it comes to science, our ways split. I think it speaks for itself that one of us is in it and one of us is not. You just want to make love to young Turkish boys and pour ouzo on their wounds you inflicted on them. It made you crazy man, I'm sorry.. you can't be helped.
