| Violence has been defined as “threatened or actual use of physical force or power against another person, against oneself, or against a group or community that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death or deprivation.” Violence is a major issue facing today’s young people. Young people between the ages of 12 and 24 are at the highest risk of being the victim of violence. The issues in this session have been brought together to address and better understand the issues and factors involved in youth violence and aggressive behaviors. Issues under investigation include: violence and income inequality, aggressive and problem behaviors, school commitment as a protective factor, dating violence and abusive relationships. | |||
