This brief on youth violence by the US Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs provides an overview on youth violence, including youth violence statistics, causes of youth violence, effects of youth violence, and how to prevent youth violence. The term "youth violence" covers a broad spectrum of behaviors that can include fighting, bullying, and gang-related violence. Exposure to violence as a child can cause emotional and physical harm, including negative impacts on health and well-being that can follow a child into adulthood. Youth violence and its diverse ramifications have long been a major challenge for American police officers, school staff, and municipal leaders. Preventing youth violence is a critical issue for many communities across the country.
