Popis: Aggression is a response by an individual that delivers something unpleasant to another person. Violence refers to extreme forms of aggression, such as physical assault and murder. Even if male preponderance is there aggression is also common in females. This review article provides a brief knowledge about the various factors responsible for aggression and violence. The main focus of the article is to intervene successfully in aggression and violent behaviour. Overall, it is concluded that there is sufficient evidence currently available to substantiate the claim that personal violence can be reduced by psychosocial interventions, but that much more research is required to delineate the parameters of effectiveness in this context. Prevention at family level, community level and in school level will reduce the occurrence of aggression and violence significantly.
