About the Book
The Oxford Textbook of Violence Prevention, edited by Peter D. Donnelly, is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary resource that addresses one of the world’s most pressing public health challenges—violence. With more than half a million homicides occurring globally each year, violence remains a leading cause of death among individuals aged 15–44. This authoritative textbook brings together international experts to examine the epidemiology, causes, consequences, and prevention strategies for violence in modern society.

Organized into six well-structured sections, the book explores a public health approach to violence prevention, covering interpersonal violence in all its forms. Early chapters provide epidemiological insights and discuss the physical, psychological, and societal consequences of violence. Subsequent sections analyze the effectiveness of current interventions, policies for violence reduction, and evidence-based recommendations for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners.

The print edition includes complimentary access to the online version for 12 months, offering additional flexibility and convenience for readers. With its global perspective, rigorous analysis, and practical orientation, this textbook serves as an essential reference for public health professionals, medical practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and students committed to reducing violence worldwide.
