Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Law and Delinquency, , language: English, abstract: Violent death, encapsulating suicide and homicide, remains a pervasive global concern, spanning a spectrum from individual acts to large-scale atrocities like genocide and war. This paper provides a nuanced examination of violent death's multifaceted dimensions, delving into distinct issues such as suicide in developed industrial societies, the prominence of war in certain regions, and the often overlooked facets of violence affecting both the young and the elderly. In Western post-industrialized countries, violent death, encompassing homicide, suicide, and accidents, stands as a leading cause of mortality among the youth, while domestic violence and professional nursing violence impact the elderly. Despite its omnipresence, there exists a significant dearth of reflective knowledge on violence. This study sheds light on the alarming prevalence of violence in medium-sized towns, exemplified by the downward spiral explored in the Netflix Series 'Flint Town.' The correlation between reduced employment opportunities, relative deprivation, and violent outcomes is examined, emphasizing the societal implications of such trends.
