Youth violence refers to harmful behaviors that can occur among individuals aged 10 to 24. This can include physical fights, bullying, and even more severe acts like gang violence or homicides. Factors contributing to youth violence often include exposure to domestic violence, substance abuse, and lack of access to education or mental health resources. Preventing youth violence involves community efforts, such as promoting positive relationships and providing support systems. Programs that focus on conflict resolution, mentorship, and recreational activities can help reduce the likelihood of violent behavior. Engaging families and schools is also crucial in creating a safe environment for young people.
