FACTSHEET:
Violence Involving Youth
Violence committed against and committed by
the youth of America is a serious problem. The victimization of youth ranges from child
abuse, child sexual abuse, gang violence and youth-on-youth attacks to hate violence, rape
and murder. In alarming rates, young people are turning to violence to resolve their
problems and to criminal activity as a lifestyle choice. There are many theories about
this type of violence. Some theorists suggest that children learn from their environment--
be it the influence of a crime filled neighborhood, an abusive home, or an isolated rural
area where support services are minimal.

"The terrible thing about this is not what happened to me, although that was bad enough, but the fact that practically nothing was done to keep this from happening again. Convicted rapists spend only a few years in jail! Well, this little old great-grandmother is going to change that."
