Abstract
We proposed, developed, and analysed a mathematical model of intergroup behavioural dynamics in a community that is divided between two distinguishable social groups. The model, built using a system of simple ordinary differential equations, is based on intuitively conceived assumptions on violence that are verifiable and conformable to findings in sociological studies. We obtained and performed sensitivity analyses on the basic threshold quantity to have a better understanding of the dynamics of violence in the society. We established correctional conditions that suggest rehabilitation possibilities and potentials.
