Youth violence is a serious problem that can have lasting harmful effects on victims and their families, friends, and communities. The goal for youth violence prevention is to stop youth violence from happening in the first place.
Preventing youth violence requires addressing factors at all levels of the social ecology—the individual, relational, community, and societal levels.
