Layers of understanding are built by viewing the problem from a multitude of perspectives, including the current situation in which South African youth are growing up, perspectives from developmental psychology, the influences of race, class and gender, and of the media. The book examines the evidence for effective interventions in the contexts of young people's lives - their homes, their schools, their leisure activities, with gangs, in the criminal justice system, in cities and neighbourhoods, and with sexual offenders. In doing so, thoughtful suggestions are made for keeping an evidence-based perspective while (necessarily) adapting interventions for developing world contexts, such as South Africa. 517 $aYouth Violence 606 $aViolence 606 $aYouth and violence 606 $aViolence$xPrevention 607 $aSouth Africa 615 0$aViolence. 615 0$aYouth and violence. 615 0$aViolence$xPrevention. 676 $a303.60835 700 $aWard$b Catherine L.$01261903 702 $aDawes$b Andrew 702 $aVan der Merwe$b Amelia 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476794203321 996 $aYouth Violence$93363163 997 $aUNINA
