Youth and violence: Phenomena and international data

Abstract: The topic of youth, violence, and disintegration needs addressing because young women and men are the world's greatest capital. They have the energy, talent, and creativity for building a future. But this group also suffers grave vulnerabilities.

“…O fenômeno da violência juvenil é, atualmente, um problema social de forte impacto. Atinge todas as nações do mundo, embora a sua intensidade varie de continente para continente; afeta particularmente os países de renda baixa e média, com taxas de homicídio de jovens superiores a 10/100 000 (1)(2)(3)(4). Em geral, as taxas de homicídio juvenil vêm crescendo, flutuando de 0,6 a 0,9/100 000 habitantes nos países de alta renda da Europa e partes da Ásia e do Pacífico, até 17,6 a 36,4/100 000 habitantes em países com baixa renda e/ ou em desenvolvimento (2).…”
