I genuinely think society needs to stop confusing moral issues with the psychological, and assert that these things do NOT _cause_violence:
- alcohol
- football
- stress
Reveal, yes, but not cause.

Violence rests in a false sense of entitlement to harm, and a shady belief they have that “right”.

Where to start? There's a lot of sloppy thinking behind many a headline and tag line that create that association, hiding this, a kind of smoke and mirrors. Add victim blaming into the mix and there's much to undo.

The exposés looking at those groups that go to football matches, seeking a violent confrontation, have gone some way down this route, maybe.

We have a long way to go in reminding / educating some people - especially decision makers who commission services - that (generally speaking) violence is ideological and rooted in a false sense of entitlement, not psychological.

It’s not an illness, it’s a choice.
