    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Criminology
    • Adolescent Health

    Background:

    • Violence levels in England and Wales are lower than in the USA but show a steady increase.
    • Adolescence is a critical period for establishing lifelong attitudes and behaviors, making it a key focus for violence prevention.
    • Current UK-based research on violence risk factors is insufficient, despite the growing concern.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing evidence on the risk factors associated with adolescent violence.
    • To stimulate the development of effective strategies for violence reduction in England and Wales.
    • To highlight the need for more UK-specific research on violence and its determinants.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review, with a significant focus on evidence from the United States.
    • Identification of known underlying factors contributing to violence.
    • Analysis of risk factors relevant to adolescent antisocial behavior and violence.

    Main Results:

    • While international data provides insights, there is a need to disentangle the effects of multiple variables on violence.
    • Adolescent antisocial behavior is linked to specific risk factors that require further investigation.
    • The review aims to bridge the gap between existing knowledge and the development of targeted interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing rising violence requires treating it as a major public health issue.
    • Understanding and mitigating adolescent risk factors are crucial for long-term violence reduction.
    • Increased UK-based research is essential to develop contextually relevant prevention strategies.
