Aggression is considered hierarchal if the aggressor is an authority, an adult aggressing against a youth or child, or a member of a higher tax bracket: middle class on working, working on unemployed, etc. Heretical violence is the reverse of this. Horizontal violence is that engaged in by people of equal social status.
Of these 20 acts of physical aggression:
5 were hierarchal
15 were horizontal
0 were heretical, which, considered my impoverished state, could have only occurred if I had been attacked by children
5 of these were initiated by groups on an individual
9 of these were interracial
