Adrenaline is the cause of spiritual animation of aggression and is similar to dopamine, indeed as aggression susides it turns to dopamine. As this is an addictive state it is coveted by those who use this mechanism to get adrenaline and dopamine, engaging in dangerous, harmful and wanton activities.
Violence as employment
State channels some people to a regime of the army to form defensive and expansive forces for the state. As democracies have progressed they have come to use less of their production on military.
Violence passively
This includes the production of addictive and harmful substances that are everpresent in society, production of weapons.
Violence from apathy
Standing by as society harms its members, ignoring them eventually has effect on how you live.
Violence sublimated
Sports, extreme games are forms of getting the same buzz in a controlled and civilized environment. Work is another sublimation, that does not use the same mechanism, but employs something else and therefore transplants the agressive energy.
Violence as disorder
Violence is entropy increasing behaviour. As this is increased or coordianted the result is increase in entropy of the state. As states often claim a function of defence of its territories and interests. They therefore form a system for creating a function that harms its own members.
