Our latest research report identifies just how much violence is costing and which countries are paying the most. HOW MUCH DOES VIOLENCE COST? The economic cost of violence containment has surpassed the combined GDPs of Germany and Japan. Our latest research calculates the cost preventing and containing violence in 152 countries. The global economic impact of violence has reached an astonishing *US$9.46 trillion*, which is equivalent to *11% of Gross World Product*, according to a report from the Institute for Economics and Peace. The report, The Economic Cost of Violence Containment<http://visionofhumanity.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=529ead4d8fb93358f778bcbbe&id=8765e67d0b&e=2ed9ffa94c>, calculates the cost of violence containment in over 152 countries according to 13 different types of violence related spending. The findings outlined in the report show that violence containment costs *US$1,300* per person per year and is almost double the size of the world's agriculture industry. To put this in perspective: violence containment spending is over 2.4 times the size of the total GDP of Africa.
