【社会人文】靴子比兵器更具伤害性
The prevention of attacks involving kicking or blunt objects is just as important as preventing knife violence, new research from Cardiff University shows.
A team from the University's Violence Research Group found that injuries inflicted with feet were more likely to result in severe injury than any other method of assault.
The team reviewed instances of violence resulting in treatment at the Emergency Department, University Hospital Wales, Cardiff between 1999 and 2005.
They found that while assault with a weapon was generally more likely to cause severe injuries than non-weapon assault, kicking was the single most likely method to cause severe injury. The next most likely methods were, in order, blunt objects, other body parts such as the head, and sharp objects. Fists, despite being the most common method of assault, were the least likely to cause serious injury.
The research, published in the international academic journal Injury Prevention, is the first ever to compare injuries by method of attack. Professor Jonathan Shepherd, who led the research, said the surprisingly severe injuries from kicking and blunt objects should make them just as high priorities as knives in violence reduction strategies.
Professor Shepherd said: "This might be achieved through public awareness campaigns and tackling alcohol misuse to reduce the chances of people falling over, since victims of violence are usually kicked after they have fallen.
"We also need to take action to reduce the availability of blunt objects coming to hand in licensed premises and city centre streets."
While there was little difference between injuries inflicted by one assailant or two assailants, the severity of injury rose significantly when there were three or more attackers. Professor Shepherd said that group violence should therefore be a further priority for action.
The study found that men aged 47 were the most likely to be severely injured. Women accounted for 25% of all victims, a higher percentage than that in previous UK studies, possibly reflecting changing behaviour in recent years.

来自加的夫大学的新研究显示，正如防止凶器暴力一样，防止踢或者钝的物体的攻击也一样重要。
A team from the University's Violence Research Group found that injuries inflicted with feet were more likely to result in severe injury than any other method of assault.
加的夫大学的一暴力研究小组发现脚踢伤产生的伤残程度很可能的比其他任何伤害方法更严重。
The team reviewed instances of violence resulting in treatment at the Emergency Department, University Hospital Wales, Cardiff between 1999 and 2005.
暴力研究小组回顾分析了加的夫大学的威尔士医院急诊部1999年至2005年因暴力导致的治疗。
They found that while assault with a weapon was generally more likely to cause severe injuries than non-weapon assault, kicking was the single most likely method to cause severe injury. The next most likely methods were, in order, blunt objects, other body parts such as the head, and sharp objects. Fists, despite being the most common method of assault, were the least likely to cause serious injury.
他们发现虽然武器造成的伤害度的一般比非武器更可能引起严重的伤时， 踢很可能是唯一的会引起严重的伤害的非武器方法。伤害度排在其次的很可能是钝的物体的，其他身体部分(例如头和锋利的物体)。 拳头，尽管是最常用的攻击方法，其伤害度却是排在最末位。
The research, published in the international academic journal Injury Prevention, is the first ever to compare injuries by method of attack. Professor Jonathan Shepherd, who led the research, said the surprisingly severe injuries from kicking and blunt objects should make them just as high priorities as knives in violence reduction strategies.
这项研究刊登在国际学术刊物《伤害预防》上，是有史以来的第一个研究攻击的方法与伤害的程度。研究的倡导者Jonathan Shepherd教授说，踢和钝器的伤害会引起严重的伤害的非武器的结论令人吃惊从，这个结论提示在制定减少暴力的策略时，应该优先考虑他们预防踢和钝器的暴力。
