      abstract = {This examination of youth violence provides insights from  international experts and real life examples of how nations  and communities around the world have successfully dealt  with the issue.  From Colombia to Northern Ireland, from  South Africa to the United States. All around the world,  youth violence, defined as violence committed by or against  individuals ages 10 to 29, is occurring with alarming  frequency; 565 young people die every day as a result of  interpersonal assaults. What can be done to end this  needless violence?  The magnitude of the problem of youth  violence in nations throughout the world is shocking. What  is encouraging is that strategies to combat this issue do  appear to work. For example, community-based restorative  justice programs in Northern Ireland reduced retaliatory  strikes by paramilitary youth groups by 75 percent, and  research trials of policy and intervention strategies, such  as parent training and early childhood education, have been  shown to significantly reduce youth violence.  This text  offers an overview of youth violence, including background  information that defines the problem internationally, a  conceptual framework for understanding approaches to youth  violence, examinations of multiple case studies, and  examples of prevention programs. The final section presents  conclusions and suggested strategies for dealing with  interpersonal violence and recommendations for future  policy.},
