Humans have a remarkable capacity for committing violence against themselves and others, causing 1.6 million violent deaths a year- half of those by suicide, according to a new study from the World Health Organization. Someone kills themselves every 40 seconds, someone is murdered every 60 seconds and someone dies in a war every 100 seconds. And for every person who dies, another 15 to 20 suffer grievous physical harm. The report, which took three years to compile, found enormous
differences in violent death across the globe. The murder rate in Colombia, for example, was nearly 85 deaths per 100,000 people ages 10 to 29, compared with about 1.5 per 100,000 throughout much of Europe. Researchers found a suicide rate in Lithuania of 52 per 100,000 people, compared with just five per 100,000 in Mexico. Every country is dealing with violence one way or another, but we are always dealing with it after the fact. Public health is all about prevention. All sectors- public health, police, justice- have a role to play in preventing violence.
