Abstract
Poverty and violence are difficult concepts to address from conceptual and definitional perspective, merely these two concepts receive appropriate attentions. Poverty can be the worse form of violence because it leaves effect until to the future generation. In other words poverty can lead to physically and mentally abuse to individual and their heirs. Thus, poverty as a form of violence must be seen as any act or condition that causes injury to health and well being of others. Thepurpose of this paper is to explore the concepts of poverty as a form of violence. This paper suggests, these two concepts are ultimately significant and having positive correlations. Thus this paper begins with the literature review of poverty as violence. Second part explores poverty as form of violence through personal violence, structural violence and cultural violence. We compare these situations between developed country and undeveloped country. We also propose the hypothesis of vicious cycle's poverty and violence in the third section and finally a conclusion.
