Analysis of James Gilligan's Theory of Violence (by David Swanson)

Our National Epidemic of Violence

So we've identified the problem. What about the solution?

My answer is nonviolence, of course. Seek solutions to violence that don't humiliate or add unnecessary suffering to the perpetrator. Adopt a more community-centered, restorative approach that focuses on the value of each and every human being, regardless of the offense.

A great book to read on the subject: The Psychology of Peace
