Political conflicts occur because people find themselves forcibly relocated while governments and industry expand export-oriented industries, develop international tourist facilities and set aside the biocommons for development. I would also like to refer to the increasing phenomenon of urban violence as a threat to the existing social order. Urban violence is a multifaceted phenomenon. It includes common crimes against private property, violent crime, abuse of women and children, murder, drug-related offences and the trade in women and children. It also involves uncivic acts such as the careless destruction of public spaces and domestic violence.
Urban violence creates a feeling of insecurity among inhabitants.
It tears the social fabric of cities, threatening the foundations of democratic institutions. It erodes the social capital of the urban poor and increases the vulnerability of groups already at risk. It creates urban ghettos. As urban violence often occurs in a climate of corruption, it often leads to the development of organized crime. Urban violence is not a spontaneous occurrence.
