Summary
The statistical undercounting of non-fatal incidents is a significant challenge in accurately assessing the scope of youth violence. Many assaults, particularly those occurring within peer groups or in less visible settings, may not be reported to authorities. Victims may be reluctant to come forward due to fear of retaliation, shame, or a belief that reporting will not lead to any meaningful change. This underreporting means that official statistics often present a conservative picture of the problem, failing to capture the true extent of harm experienced by young people. Public health data collection efforts, while improving, still struggle to fully enumerate the prevalence of non-fatal injuries, psychological trauma, and the long-term social costs associated with youth violence. The pathways to violence are complex and often interconnected. A young person experiencing chronic stress due to poverty or family instability may be more prone to impulsive aggression.Book information
