Violence Perpetration
In 2002, violence injured more than 877,700 young people ages 10 - 24. Today, homicide is the second leading cause of death for all young people in the United States. On average, 15 young people are murdered every day.
How can we protect our nation's youth from becoming both victims and perpetrators of violence? What are the strategies that will help parents, schools and communities build resiliency among our youth?
To learn about what factors influence youth violence download the publications below. The information provided in the journal article, fact sheet and monograph is based on the largest survey ever conducted on American Youth – the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health. Look for sections on risk and protective factors, what works and how you can make a difference.
