Introduction
According to the Oxford Dictionary, violence is a behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage or kill someone or something. Crime is the action or omission that constitutes an offense that may be prosecuted by the state and is punishable by law.
Violence, an external factor, can leave lasting emotional scars on children. Children that are exposed to violence may experience negative short- and long-term psychological effects including anger, withdrawal, post traumatic stress, and desensitization to violence. All of these outcomes can feed into a continuing cycle of violence.
On Sunday May 23, 2010 the violent behavior had increased in Kingston, Jamaica with members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force and Jamaica Defense Force taking casualties. Also, a state of emergency was declared to focus on the Tivoli Garden’s area and home of the alleged leader of the notorious shower posse Christopher Dudus
