- In their 2005 Report 'Violence and What to Do About It', The Wave Trust published the results of 9 years of research into the causes of violence. They believe that “A major factor in the development of the propensity to be violent is a lack of empathy. Empathy is a powerful antidote to violence.” So if good attachment leads to empathy, good attachment can lead to a reduction in the likelihood of violent behaviour as a child grows up. This emphasises the importance of ensuring good attachment with the children in your care. Click on the icon to the left to read more about The Wave Trust and their research.
