While much of the Global North has experienced relative peace after World War 2, the same cannot be said about the Global South, where there have been numerous political and military conflicts. Out of these forms of violence, other subsequent forms of deprivation and state repression have resulted, causing further spinoffs, and inducing more forms of violence impacting children and youth in homes, schools, street life, and in war zones as refugees and child soldiers.
This book provides informative perspectives on violence impacting children and youth, examining trends, dynamics, and experiences of violence in the Global South’s varied settings. It enables policymakers to develop useful strategies to protect children and youth since the future of every society lies in the quality of life given to its children and youth. The book will be of great value to educators, social workers, scholars, and researchers in violence-related areas of practice.
