Violence is the use of physical force by humans to cause harm to other living beings, including pain, injury, disablement, death, damage, and destruction. The World Health Organization defines it as the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or a group or community, that results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation, a definition that recognizes violence not resulting in injury or death.
