killing equals more killing

Section A01

After reading, “Empire of Death and the Plague of Civic Violence” by Darrell Y. Hamamoto, I found the research study of “If wartime killing does lifetime homicidal violence in some lasting or general way, as this model suggests, then one would expect increases in violent crime in postwar societies” to be very interesting. Because the US is constantly at war with different countries, that would partially explain the many murderers, and its many kinds, such as the serial murder, mass murder, and the snipers. This article also stated that most of these murderers were White-American, which reminded me of the Boston Marathon bombing which happened recently. War already kills many people, and I find it unnecessary that even more people are being killed due to the ripple effect of the war.

Question: Is it possible to stop the increases of the violent crimes in postwar societies without needing to eradicate war itself?
