Human aggression occurs at both interpersonal and institutional levels. Interpersonal aggression involves actions aimed at a specific individual and is restricted to a specific time and place. Examples of inter-personal aggression may include domestic violence, fighting in a bar, or even serial murder.
Institutional aggression, on the other hand, occurs within or between groups or institutions such as prisons, the armed forces, schools, or even places of work such as hospitals or factories. In general, institutional aggression is more likely to be motivated by social forces rather than anger, and involves more complex processes and conditions than interpersonal aggression.
