According to Martin (2007) the core of the research on violence are sociologists, social psychologists, anthropologists, criminologists, as well as devoted human service workers and those within the criminal justice system.

More than 968,000 Somalis live as refugees in countries neighboring Somalia primarily in Kenya (520,000), Yemen (203,000), and Ethiopia (186,000). A third of them fled Somalia in the course on 2011.

According to Shen Ryan (1992) issues experienced by refugees include stress related to trauma, changes, grief due to the violence they experienced. Refugees are also faced with mental problems because of the trauma and pain, and physical problems because of the scars they received from the violence, in addition, a great substantial amount of depression from the emotional pain. Several key facts that relate to the issues that the refugees faced are, the fact that they are in a camp and not their own homes, theyre in a new culture compared to what they are used to, the traumatic experiences they encountered as victims or witnesses of the violence done to someone.
