Founded in 2006 in Melbourne, Step Back Think attempts to end social violence by conducting research and educate to spread awareness about social violence and the consequences that a violent decision in a split second has. They also provide young people with social decision-making skills to avoid situations escalating to the point of violence. Since 2000 around 90 young people have lost their lives to one-hit punches, also called coward punches and many have sustained horrific injuries, and often permanent brain damage.
