Over the past century child mortality rates have fallen to very low levels in all developed countries. However, there remain wide variations both between and within countries, and in many child deaths factors can be identified which could be modified to reduce the risks of future deaths. An understanding of the nature and patterns of child death and of the factors contributing to child deaths is essential to driving preventive initiatives. This paper reports on the epidemiology of child deaths in England and Wales. It draws on available data, particularly death registration data and other available datasets, along with published literature to highlight the issues relevant to reducing child deaths in developed countries. We highlight the different patterns of mortality at different ages within five broad categories of death: perinatal causes, congenital abnormalities, acquired natural causes, external causes, and unexplained deaths. Within each category we explore what is known about the main causes of death and some of the contributory factors and highlight how this knowledge may be used to help drive prevention initiatives.

“…Globally, domestic abuse has been described as reaching 'epidemic proportions' (van der Wath et al 2013). While in the UK it has been estimated that approximately 30% of women and 17% of men between the ages sixteen and fifty-nine years have experienced domestic abuse (Smith et al 2012). Domestic abuse takes many different forms and has been traditionally defined as including physical, psychological, sexual, financial and emotional abuse (Olive, 2007 Those who experience domestic abuse report significant immediate and longer-term health impacts which affect both physical and mental health status (Lacey et al 2013, McGarry et al 2011.…”

It was clear that all of the staff in the study highly valued the role and one which offered support both professionally and personally when nurse were often dealing with very difficult situations. However, the study has also drawn attention to the conundrum that surrounds identification and management of abuse and of enquiry more generally. The ED is ideally suited to identify at risk individuals but is not institutionally organised in a way that prioritises the social concerns of their patients and this nursing role is one way that this issue can be addressed. There is however, still work to be done in developing an infrastructure that supports identification, management and in building stronger relationships at an inter-agency level. The role of the nurse specialist continues to evolve locally, and in light of recent policy directives further research is 3 needed to explore the development and implementation of identification, management and support in the future.

“…There are other reasons why psychological approaches to understanding and changing violence-prone states of mind are important. First, the evidence about the nature of violence suggests that at least half of it arises in the context of a relationship between two people (Smith 2010). This is particularly true for children and infants under 1 year: infants are most at risk of being victims of homicide, and perpetrators are parents or in parental roles in 80% of such cases.…”

“…In most Anglophone/ European countries, violence is a comparatively rare form of criminal behaviour. In England and Wales, it constitutes only 20% of recorded crime, and rates of all forms of violence have been drop ping over the past decade (Home Office 2009;Smith 2010). Homicide rates in England and Wales doubled between 1960 and 1980, but have been stable ever since, numbering about 600 annually (Taylor 1999).…”

“…Over 50% of homicides in England and Wales last year arose in the context of a quarrel, revenge or dispute between people who were well known to each other (Smith 2010), indicating that the perpetrator had thoughts and feelings about the victim in their mind before the violence began (i.e. they had a representation of the victim or their relationship with them in mind).…”

SummaryViolence between people is a complex social phenomenon involving both social and individual psychological variables. Prevention of violence includes attention to risk factors for violence; but also the provision of interventions for those who have been violent to others. This article explores the evidence that failures of the mentalising process are a risk factor for acts of violence, especially in mental health service users; and describes the implementation of potential therapeutic programmes that seek to improve mentalising in individuals who pose a risk of serious violence to others.
