Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that violence arises from a complex mix of psychological, social, biological, and physiological factors. Mental illness on its own is not a strong predictor of violence, and individuals who are violent do not necessarily have a mental disorder. While there is ongoing research in the field, at present there is no single factor or set of factors that accurately predict who will become violent. Past behavior is also a key indicator in assessing potential for future violent behavior.
