Publisher Description:

Youth violence is a significant public health problem that affects thousands of young people each day, and in turn,
their families, schools, and communities. Youth violence occurs when young people between the ages of 10 and 24
years intentionally use physical force or power to threaten or harm others. This illustrated technical package provides an overview about youth violence and evidence-based strategies for community leaders, families, school administrators, teachers, law enforcement, and state leaders to utilize as methods for youth violence prevention.

Some example strategies include:
  • Preschool enrichment with family engagement and parent education
  • Mentoring/After School programs
  • Hospital community partnership programs
  • Youth volunteer opportunities
While individual skills are important and research has demonstrated the preventive effects of many youth skill development programs, approaches addressing relationships with parents, peers, and other caring adults as well as approaches that influence school and community environments are equally important to have the greatest public health impact.
