Causes and Prevention of Violence
Prejudice refers to preconceived opinions or attitudes about individuals or groups that are not based on reason or actual experience. It often manifests as an unfair or negative judgment towards people based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. This bias can lead to discrimination and is a significant factor contributing to hate crimes and bias-motivated violence, impacting social cohesion and individual lives.
