Youth violence dominates media headlines and politicians' attention and many organisations invest considerable resources in an attempt to reduce it. This book examines how inequality and social harms in young people's lives can drive such violence and affect the social situations they navigate - their families, schools, communities, the online world and workplaces. The authors investigate the harm caused by organisations and individuals that capitalise on serious violence to exploit, stereotype and over-police young people and fundamentally deny their agency. Drawing on empirical data from young people, police forces, emergency units and schools, the book highlights key future goals for researchers, policymakers and practitioners.
