In many disciplines, there are applications of theory to provide strat
egies for research and practice. But, at this point in time, given the
complex nature of violence, few existing theories effectively address
all important variables. In order to overcome deficiencies in violenc
e theory development, it Brill be necessary for violence researchers a
nd practitioners to better define the concept of violence, improve res
earch designs and program evaluations, and make multidisciplinary coll
aboration a priority.
