I feel like we should probably simulate violence using VR, etc. for our children in the future. You can't really understand the danger of violence until you see just the extent of consequences it can bring. Otherwise we will be forever cyclical as our collective memories about the consequences fade.

That being said, I have no idea what the fine line would be between education and desensitization/traumatizing. We still have a lot to learn.

Definitely don't do it through VR. You have FEEL the consequences of violence, not see them. Seeing the consequences means you see it on others which makes it a very abstract concept. You have to feel it yourself.
