National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence

The National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence was a U.S. government body established in the 1960s to investigate why violence was increasing in society. Its purpose was to identify social, economic, and cultural factors contributing to violence and recommend strategies to reduce it. The commission aimed to promote understanding and develop policies to create safer, more harmonious communities. Although its work was influential, it was eventually disbanded, but its findings helped shape discussions on violence prevention and community safety efforts.
