Societies With Strict Rules Encourage Boozing and Unruly Behavior
The report on alcohol and violence has enlisted cultural features that may predict levels of violence such as homicide and spousal abuse.
Titled, "Alcohol and Violence: Exploring Patterns and Responses," the report has analyzed the link between alcohol and violence through the disciplines of anthropology, clinical psychology, human rights law, gender, and public health.
"We need to look more closely at the meaning attached to both drinking and violence in different cultures, without assuming that the one causes the other," said Anne Fox, PhD, a contributor to the report and founding director of Galahad SMS Ltd. in England.
She said that certain cultural features, if present, can largely predict levels of homicide, spousal abuse and other forms of violence.
Violence-reinforcing cultures tend to share the following features:
1. Cultural support (in media, norms, icons, myths, and so on) for aggression and aggressive solutions.
2. Militaristic readiness and participation in wars-societies that are frequently at war have consistently higher rates of interpersonal violence as well.
3. Glorification of fighters.
4. Violent sports.
5. Corporal and capital punishment.
6. Socialization of male children toward aggression.
7. Belief in malevolent magic.
8. Conspicuous inequality in wealth.
9. A higher than normal proportion of young males in the society.
