| description |
The study documents how people living in
poor urban communities in Colombia, perceive violence, and
identifies, the categories of violence affecting
communities, the costs of different types of violence, the
effect of violence on social capital, and the causes, and
effects of social exclusion. Social institutions were
identified across the nine research communities, making the
distinction between those institutions benefiting the
community, i.e., those creating positive social capital, and
those institutions benefiting their members, while hurting
the community, i.e., creating perverse social capital. The
first group, which included primarily schools, and health
centers, were mostly trusted, whereas those institutions
dealing with the prevention of violence, such as state
security, and justice institutions, were the least trusted.
Interestingly, perverse organizations were the most
prevalent membership organizations, including guerrilla
type, and paramilitary groups, perpetrating political
violence, and exercising a dominant force. The study
identified avoidance, confrontation, conciliation, and other
lesser strategies, as forms to deal with violence, and
recommendations suggest the need to address the serious
problem of displaced people, the unemployment situation, and
above all, the need for peace negotiation, to abolish the
pervasive nature of political violence. |
