The paper highlights the relationship between violence and human feelings and identities, but it also points out that larger cultural and political factors—including the state’s response—always influence these particular dynamics. It implies that, particularly in politically charged circumstances, careful, balanced policy is crucial. The research cautions against using violent or contemptuous language that could elicit strong emotions in light of the findings. By avoiding policing strategies that separate people or employ excessive force, it promotes conversation that acknowledges emotional dynamics. Reducing the likelihood of violence requires establishing channels for peaceful political participation, validating complaints, and maintaining equity in protest settings. In order to foster public trust, the paper concludes by recommending increased institutional responsiveness and transparency.
