WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

In this lesson, you will learn the two divisions of

intentional injuries and its classifications.

TWO TYPES OF INJURIES:

1. Unintentional Injuries - are injuries that are not caused on purpose or with
intention to harm yourself or others.

2. Intentional Injuries - are injuries resulting from purposeful human action,

whether directed at oneself or others.
 Intentional injuries are divided into two:

A.Self-inflected - person who harms herself or himself on purpose.

2 classifications:
a.Suicide – is the intentional taking of one’s own life
b.Para suicide – a suicide attempt in which a person does not intend to die.

B.Assault – person/persons who harm another on purpose.

4 classifications:
a.Those that were committed within the family (domestic violence happens when one or
more members of the family harms/abuses another family member)
b.Those that were committed by peers (bullying, stalking and extortion may committed
by peers in school or in the community)

c.Those that were committed by other groups (gang and youth violence, illegal
fraternity-related violence, kidnapping and abduction, and different acts of terror may
committed by groups).
d.Those that were committed by family, peers and other groups (sexual victimization
and other forms of abuse and harassment (includes verbal abuse, incest, molestation
and rape) may be committed by the family, peers and groups).

Here are some examples of the two divisions of intentional

injuries.
