"Preventing Youth Violence in a Multicultural Society" highlights the importance of creating culturally compatible interventions to stop violence among the youngest members of diverse populations. Chapters explore how ethnicity and culture can increase or decrease risk for violence among youth depending on contextual factors such as a disadvantaged upbringing, exposure to trauma, and acculturation status. Authors focus on the interaction between environmental conditions and the individual risk factors that foster youth violence. They begin by examining risk factors common to all groups of youth, such as feeling alienated from mainstream culture and searching for self-identity, and then focus on risk, resilience, and distinguishing factors among particular racial and ethnic groups, including Latino, African American, Asian American, Pacific Islander, American Indian, and White youth. The authors recommend interventions tailored to each group as well as advice on how to incorporate cultural competence into more general youth violence prevention programs. The social-ecological approach taken in this volume emphasizes the learned nature of aggression and violence, and many of the recommended interventions involve changing the context in which violence is taught, therefore truly encouraging long-term violence prevention. This practical, empirically supported book serves as an important resource to all mental health practitioners working in the field of youth violence. This book begins with an introduction by Emilie Phillips Smith and Nancy G. Guerra. Part I, Understanding Youth Violence and Prevention in Context: The Role of Ethnicity and Culture, contains: (1) Ethnicity, Youth Violence, and the Ecology of Development (Nancy G. Guerra and Kirk R. Williams); (2) Ethnic Identity, Social Group Membership, and Youth Violence (Sabine E. French, Tia E.

Revilla, Thomas Tsutsumoto, and David T. Mayeda); (6) Understanding American Indian Youth Violence and Prevention (Samantha Hurst and Jack Laird); (7) Preventing Youth Violence Among African American Youth: The Sociocultural Context of Risk and Protective Factors (Emilie Phillips Smith and La Mar Hasbrouck); and (8) Youth Violence Prevention Among White Youth (Robert Nash Parker and Louis Tuthill). Part iii, Developing Culturally Competent Youth Violence Prevention Programs and Strategies, contains: (9) Culturally Sensitive Interventions to Prevent Youth Violence (Joan C. Wright and Marc A. Zimmerman); (10) What Is Cultural Competence and How Can It Be Incorporated Into Preventive Interventions? (Cynthia Hudley and April Taylor); and (11) Preventing Youth Violence in a Multicultural Society: Future Directions (Nancy G. Guerra and Emilie Phillips Smith).

Despite overall reductions in youth violence, racial disparities in violent offending and victimization persist, such that racial minorities disproportionately shoulder the burden of both. It is proposed that the antecedents of youth violence are the same for all youth, regardless of race and ethnic background. Instead, racial disparities in youth violence and victimization result from sociopolitical structures of racial inequality, which historically isolate racial and ethnic minorities into underserved communities, where contact with risk is more likely. Youth violence scholarship has explored the ways community structures, such as physical disorder, social disorder, policing, and community violence, influence community perceptions, norms, and behaviors as well as individual youth behavior and development. However, many of these inquiries have occurred separately within siloed disciplines and are rarely integrated together. The purpose of this dissertation is to use a framework from human development, known as sociocultural development, to organize race-focused inquires regarding youth violence and test the relevance of several, multilevel risk factors on youth socioemotional development and violent behavior. Using data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN), this dissertation explores the relationships between neighborhood physical disorder, community perceptions of danger, community perceptions of policing, and frequency of violence exposure on youth internalizing symptoms, externalizing symptoms, and violent offending. A combination of hierarchical linear modeling and individual growth curve modeling were used to assess multi-level impacts on neighborhood perceptions and youth outcomes. Results indicate that higher levels of neighborhood physical disorder predict greater individual perceptions of neighborhood danger and less positive attitudes towards the police. However, these perceptions at the community level did not significantly influence individual youth violence. Individual growth curve models assessed between-and within-individual change in violence exposure, internalizing symptoms, externalizing symptoms, and violent offending. Results indicate that youth display fairly similar rates of change in all dependent variables, but that early exposure to violence and neighborhood physical disorder significantly predict where youth "start" in their trajectories. Consistent with race-invariance perspectives, Black youth, in particular, report higher frequencies of violence exposure, which places them above White and Hispanic/Latino youth in externalizing issues and violent offending. However, trajectories of violence exposure were unique for Hispanic/Latino youth, indicating the need to further explore sources of risk and resiliency for this diverse group of youth. In addition, more research should be conducted to explore the unique ways Black and Hispanic/Latino youth, families, and communities adapt to violence exposure and disorder in order to tailor youth violence prevention initiatives that are strengths-based and relevant.

For many children and young people, Britain is a harmful society in which to grow up. This book contextualizes the violence that occurs between a small number of young people within a wider perspective on social harm. Aimed at academics, youth workers and policy makers, the book presents a new way to make sense of this pressing social problem. The authors also propose measures to substantially improve the lives of Britain’s young people in areas ranging from the early years to youth services and the criminal justice system.
