Violence Reduction Unit : ウィキペディア英語版 | Violence Reduction Unit
The Violence Reduction Unit was established in January 2005 by the Strathclyde, Scotland police to target all forms of violent behaviour.〔Action on Violence http://www.actiononviolence.co.uk/aov/48.81.39.html〕 The unit adopted a public health approach to violence as described in the WHO’s "World Report On Violence and Health" (2002). Its aims are to reduce violent crime and behaviour by working with agencies in fields such as health, education and social work; to achieve long-term societal and attitudinal change by focusing on enforcement; and to contain and manage individuals who carry weapons, or who are involved in violent behaviour. The unit also aims to explore best practices and develop sustainable, innovative solutions to the deep-rooted problem of violence. ==National expansion==
In April 2006, the Scottish Executive (now Government) extended the VRU’s remit nationwide, thus creating a national centre of expertise on violent crime to work alongside the Government’s Violence Reduction Team. As of 2011, Scotland is the only country in the world that uses a public health approach to combat violence, and the VRU are the only police members of the WHO’s Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA). Funded in part by the Scottish Government, the VRU targets violence in all forms, including street violence, domestic abuse, school bullying and workplace bullying. The VRU co-ordinates the Scottish Government / ACPOS Anti-Violence Campaign, which runs annually in forces across Scotland.
