Abstract: (40 Views)
Introduction: Violence is a physical act committed by an individual with the intent to harm their own health, and others’ health, or to damage property. The incidence of violence varies across different societies. Due to the increase in violence in recent years in Iran, this study was conducted in 2023, with the aim of reviewing the studies conducted between 2003 and 2023, to raise awareness about the frequency of violence in Iran and review its possible causes.
Materials and Methods: In this study, articles were searched using keywords such as violence, causes, work environment, community, family, unemployment, children, women, urban and rural on the Internet, sites related to reputable medical and health journals and the database of reputable scientific databases (Web of Science, Ovid, PubMed, SID, Iran Medex, Scirus, Google Scholar, and Medline) during 2003 to 2023.
Results: A review of studies showed that provinces with a denser population and a more urbanized communities are at the forefront of violence in Iran. The first to tenth ranks belong to the provinces of Tehran, Khorasan Razavi, East Azerbaijan, Isfahan, West Azerbaijan, Fars, Kerman, Alborz, Mazandaran and Gilan, respectively. Various environmental, genetic and cultural factors play a role in this phenomenon. Social, economic and cultural conditions are the main causes of violence; among these, unemployment, social inequality and addiction have been the most common causes of anger and violence in Iran. Conclusion: Due to the increasing incidence of violence in Iranian society, it is necessary to study its underlying causes. Satisfying the basic needs for a normal life, without discrimination andinequality, and reducing unemployment can dramatically reduce this dangerous phenomenon in Iran. |
