Causes and Prevention of Violence
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) refer to traumatic events that occur during childhood, such as abuse, neglect, or household dysfunction. These experiences can have profound and lasting effects on an individual's mental and emotional health, potentially leading to a higher risk of violence in various forms. Understanding ACEs helps in examining how early trauma shapes psychological development, influences personality traits, and correlates with socio-economic factors like poverty and inequality.
