Art/Literary - Linguistics / etymologie
German term or phrase: Gewaltsoziologie
Ironically enough, this text is about perspectives on the meaning of the word "Gewalt" - which I'm not sure how to translate here! It's from:

"In der westlichen Gewaltsoziologie wird der Begriff Gewalt häuffig auf den Aspekt der physischen Gewalt begrenzt..."

In Western power sociology?
Western sociology of power?
Western sociological studies of power?

TIA!
