Given the occurrence of various student disputes inside and outside educational establishments, the psychologist from the University of Talca, Natalia Uribe, delved into the various acts of violence that have been presented in the country.
“It is very risky to say that the pandemic caused thisbecause the truth is when we talk about violence we define it as a multifactorial social phenomenon,” the academic mentioned.
“Therefore, we cannot say that the pandemic caused this, as it could be a precipitous association. But if we can say that this factor has been a trigger for the increase in these cases“, he added.
