This examination of youth violence provides readers with insights
from international experts and real-life examples of how nations
and communities around the world have successfully dealt with the
issue. The magnitude of the problem of youth violence in nations
throughout the world is shocking. What is encouraging is that
strategies to combat this issue do appear to work. For example,
community-based restorative justice programs in Northern Ireland
reduced retaliatory strikes by paramilitary youth groups by 75
percent, and research trials of policy and intervention strategies,
such as parent training and early childhood education, have been
shown to significantly reduce youth violence. This text offers a
comprehensive overview of youth violence, including background
information that defines the problem internationally, a conceptual
framework for understanding approaches to youth violence,
examinations of multiple case studies, and examples of prevention
programs. The final section presents conclusions and suggested
strategies for dealing with interpersonal violence and
recommendations for future policy. Contains contributions from over
20 international experts describing measures to address youth
violence within the political, social, cultural, and economic
contexts of their environments 12 case studies illustrate the
various conceptual and programmatic approaches for understanding,
preventing, and reducing youth violence in various countries Over
50 citations of seminal research and programmatic works in the
areas of public health, restorative justice, and resilience-based
approaches to youth violence
