  If your child misbehaves you may thump it. This may bring about a change in their behaviour, but it will also teach them how to deal with what they regard as errant behaviour in the future...and so it goes on.
  The chain of such mal-discipline can be broken, mainly through a reduction in positive reinforcement. This does take time, and time is a fairly elastic quantity, but while those who have had encouragement in the past struggle to pass on their aberrant wisdom they shall discover that only those with criminal intent will heed their call. This can only mean, in the short to middle term, that violence will increase before it dies out.
