06 May 2010
Although the link between deprivation and violence is well known, the researchers say their work has revealed the scale of this social inequality. The study said men aged 15 to 44, living in deprived areas were almost 32 times more likely to die as a result of assault with a blade than those in affluent parts. Young men in manual jobs were 12 times more at risk than those in managerial occupations.
