Review :
"These studies, in an original and comparative framework, offer creative and inspiring approaches to understanding youth violence, opening the way for new perspectives to address the needs and rights of the youth in Latin America and all over the world." - Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, Independent Expert of the UN Secretary-General for the global study on violence against children and Author of the World Report on Violence against Children (2006) "This ground-breaking volume on youth violence in Latin America is holistic and balanced in scope, and contributes definitively to a complex and often contentious debate. It is highly recommended for researchers and policy makers alike." - Caroline Moser, Professor of Urban Development, Global Urban Research Centre, University of Manchester, UK "This collection offers a timely and path-breaking perspective on one of the most contested issues in Latin America today: crime, violence, and insecurity ...Highly accessible and very readable, this work brings much needed nuance and perspective into the debate on youth violence, gang life, and interventions aimed at dealing with or solving this problem." - Kees Koonings, Associate Professor of Development Studies and Latin American Studies, Utrecht University - The Netherlands
