Leading article--understanding and preventing violence: a review.

In England and Wales the level of violence is lower than that of many other countries, including notably the major epidemic of violence in the United States of America. However, even in England and Wales, violent crimes are increasing steadily and unless this is treated as a major public health issue we may well go down the same road as the USA. This article reviews the evidence, much of which is from America, in the hope that it will stimulate the development of strategies to reduce the level of violence in our society. Many of the underlying factors are known, although research is still needed to disentangle the effects of each of the many variables. At present too little of such research is based in the UK. The Government's Chief Medical Officer has identified the health of adolescents as one of four new areas of particular importance requiring broader discussion in the coming year and comments that 'adolescence is a crucial period during which lifestyles, values and attitudes are established'. This paper identifies the main risk factors which tend to breed antisocial behaviour in adolescents in so far as they relate to violence.

Health needs in a London district.

The hospital admission rate in Inner London is higher than for the country as a whole. This could be because more beds are available or because the local population has special needs. This paper considers admission rates by electoral wards within one Inner London District. The paper shows that the high admission rates are characteristic of electoral wards which exhibit severe social deprivation and that the more affluent wards do not have high hospitalization rates despite the fact that residents of all electoral wards have equal access to hospital. Our conclusion is that the high hospitalization rates in Inner London are at least in part due to social deprivation and that any allocation of health resources needs to make adequate and additional provision for the health needs of communities which are socially deprived.
