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.

Oriana Schatan 
"When I first told people I had been raped, I expected only pity. Instead, other survivors locked arms with me and opened their hearts to me. My experience is a scar, but to the right people that scar is beautiful."
