Abstract
The British Columbia Medical Association has established a Committee on Violence to look at the impact violence has on society and help find ways to educate physicians about how to identify, counsel and prevent violent behaviour. The issue is becoming more pressing as downsizing closes mental-health facilities, putting more potentially violent patients on the streets.
