Violence
Integrative Prevention and Restoration (PAR) Model is a new, evidence-based, cognitive approach to violence response
and prevention built upon a public health foundation. It is a significant
departure from the traditional “punitive” model
for dealing with violence. The PAR Model incorporates new thinking
about and language for describing violence, provides a new framework
for preventing and responding to violence, and presents an effective
alternative to the commonly-used traditional punitive-based approaches
for dealing with violence.
