This is a both a bad and stupid idea.    No war has ever been stopped via "peace."    The bad guys are bad guys because they don't understand anything other than violence.     If this was a legitimate cause it would have been 'proven' effective at the state level.  There are at least 5 major US cities that are extremely and viscously violent--not a single street gang has been disbanded via this program (re: Ms Green of "the peace alliance").  If you create this department, it'll be the first step to locking people up for bad attitudes&#8230;  You might as well call it the department of re-education camps.   Like other BS government programs, they'll target the low hanging fruit like road rage, or complaining about, well, anything.   In their minds, calling a bad driver a jerk leads to nuclear war, and because they can't arrest the dictator of a foreign country the next best thing will be to haul your sorry butt to jail "for attitudes conducive to violence".  These people are stoned out of their minds on idealism.  Just say no.
