Abstract

Interpersonal violence is a pervasive issue that encompasses various forms of aggression and harm between individuals. Understanding the patterns of recurrence and injury associated with interpersonal violence is crucial for effective prevention and support. Recurrence often arises due to power dynamics, learned behavior, and the psychological effects of trauma. In terms of injury patterns, interpersonal violence can result in physical harm ranging from minor bruises to severe injuries or even death. Sexual violence may cause genital injuries, while psychological injuries include anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Long-term consequences may include chronic pain, disabilities, substance abuse, and difficulties in relationships. Addressing the root causes of violence, promoting education, and providing support services are essential in breaking the cycle of interpersonal violence and reducing its physical and psychological impact.
