The extent to which violence is a health problem is only now being fully recognised. This book (published in 1993) addresses the medical issues of violence from both the physical and psychological perspectives and sets out the quantitative challenges it presents to medicine as a whole. This collection of papers, comprising those given at the conference together with additional invited papers and overviews of each section, will be a valuable source of information to clinicians, health care workers, members of the police and legal profession and all those involved in the care of those who suffer violence - and those who inflict it.
