Education and violence are fundamental components of human life. But what connection exists between them? And can violence be prevented through education? This question is of great interest, as even in places around the world where abundance prevails, where democratic rights are realized, and where there are systems in place to maintain peace in society, violence seems to be an inescapable part of daily life. In this book, Rüdiger Posth explores new considerations and conclusions regarding violence and non-violence in relation to the development of children and adolescents. He shifts the focus from solely societal and general social causes to the individual human predisposition to aggression and the capacity for violence. To this end, he examines the relationship between genetic predisposition.
