The epidemiological model in the context of Cure Violence draws parallels between the transmission of infectious diseases and the spread of violent behavior. It involves identifying patterns, monitoring trends, and implementing interventions to reduce the incidence of violence. The model focuses on three main strategies:
1. Interruption of Transmission: This involves identifying individuals or situations at high risk of violence and intervening before violence occurs. 2. Prevention of Future Spread: This involves working with individuals who have been involved in violence to prevent recurrence. 3. Changing Community Norms: This involves changing the social norms that tolerate or perpetuate violence.
