On In contemporary social studies, violence is seen as a phenomenon of dual nature. It is a form of pervasive violence that societies impose on individuals through processes of subjugation, integration, and coercion, and it is a mechanism that communities employ to compel their members to adhere to the dominant social, political, and cultural values and norms, which are enforced by those wielding material or moral authority. Besides, it is not possible to exclude the individual’s violent acts—exemplified by acts of rebellion against cultural standards, social and political rules, and the rejection of societal and moral ethics.

In light of the persistent presence of violence, the culture of violence, and the evolution of violence tools in our modern world-whether it’s the limited violence within families, schools, media, the other private and public spaces, or the vast, law-defying violence that crosses continents. Given the inability of
ethical and moral systems, as well as the international community as a whole, to halt or limit it, Siraj Journal in London has dedicated its 12th issue to the theme of violence. The journal invites researchers and those interested to contribute to this issue through the following topics:

• Violence: its Concepts, Types, and Manifestations
• Socialization and the Production of Violence
• The Presence of Violence in the History of Humanity and the Evolution of Societies
• National and International Legislations and the Issue of Violence
• Family Violence: Against Children, Against Women
• Violence within Social Institutions: Schools and Media
• The Moral and Legal Responsibility of the State regarding Violence
• Violence and Religion: Does religion restrict or propagate violence?
• Violence and Intimidation in Sociological Approaches
