The magnitude of the problem is staggering and persistent. Of the top 50 most violent cities in the world, 42 are in LAC. In 2010 alone, 142,302 people in LAC fell victim to homicide, representing 390 homicides per day and 4.06 homicides every 15 minutes. Crime disproportionately affects young men aged 20 to 24, whose homicide rate of 92 per 100,000 nearly quadruples that of the region. The focus of Crime Prevention in Latin America and the Caribbean is to identify policy interventions that, whether by design or indirect effect, have been shown to affect antisocial behavior early in life and patterns of criminal offending in youth and adults. Particular attention is devoted to recent studies that rigorously establish a causal link between the interventions in question and outcomes. This publication adopts a lifecycle perspective and argues that as individuals progress through different stages of the lifecycle, not only do different sets of risk factors arise and take more prominence, but their interactions and interdependencies shape human behavior. These interactions and the relative importance of different sets of risk factors identify relevant margins that can effectively be targeted by prevention policies, not only early in life, but throughout the lifecycle. Indeed prevention can never start too early, nor start too late, nor be too comprehensive."--Publisher's description 410 0$aLatin American development forum. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aViolence$zLatin America 606 $aEducation$xSocial aspects$zLatin America 606 $aViolence$xEconomic aspects$zLatin America 606 $aCities and towns$zLatin America$xGrowth 606 $aPoverty$zLatin America 606 $aCrime$zLatin America 615 0$aViolence 615 0$aEducation$xSocial aspects 615 0$aViolence$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aCities and towns$xGrowth. 615 0$aPoverty 615 0$aCrime 676 $a303.6098 700 $aChioda$b Laura$01499307 801 0$bXBE 801 1$bXBE 801 2$bIQU 801 2$bVA@ 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796659803321 996 $aStop the violence in Latin America$93725223 997 $aUNINA
