Safeopedia Explains Social Ecology
Although social ecology may sound like a wildly ideological philosophy, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes that it could have practical application in the prevention of violence. They observe that society, community and relationships impact on individuals and create circumstances that may foster or prevent violence. The CDC examined possible socio-ecological causative factors of violence and suggests strategies to address these.
