The threshold to behave violently is lowered in these individuals and leads to an increased collective aggression (see Figure 1 , Figure 2 ), and therefore higher levels of family (Catani, 2010 ; Webermann et al, 2020 ) and community violence (Nandi et al, 2017 ; Robjant, Schmitt, Chibashimba, et al, 2020 ), or crime (Aebi et al, 2017 ; Webb et al, 2017 ). At the same time, this specific memory structure impairs the verbal accessibility of its content (Brewin, 2011 ; Ehlers, Hackmann, & Michael, 2004 ; Foa, Molnar, & Cashman, 1995 ), especially when the victim dissociated during the traumatic experience (Bedard-Gilligan & Zoellner, 2012 ; Peltonen, Kangaslampi, Saranpää, Qouta, & Punamäki, 2017 ).…”
