Define the term vulnerable populations and describe selected groups who are considered to be vulnerable. Describe factors that led to the development of vulnerability in certain populations.

SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY FACTORS: WORK Work can be fulfilling and contribute to a sense of well-being; it can also be frustrating and unfulfilling, contributing to stress that may lead to aggression and violence. This frustration and resentment may contribute to violent behavior. Workers may have difficulty separating feelings generated at work from those at home. People hesitate to give up jobs even if they are frustrating, boring, or stressful.

The media can indirectly lead people to choose violence Advertisements for nonessential items = frustration/ unfilled dreams/ unmet wishes Portraying the world as a violent place Poor role modeling of anger management * SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY FACTORS: ORGANIZED RELIGION Religion generally teaches nonviolent conflict resolution.
