Abstract:
We know better the violences made by the youngs than those they suffer from. The purpose of this study is to assess, as for a city surrounding Paris, the prevalence of the violences they felt and its relation with the psychic uneasiness. Some 344 youngs (from 15 to 25 years old) selected in the city, have filled in an autoquestionnaire. It has shown that 61.6% of them have already suffered from violences, among them 44.5% from adults and what is more from institutional adults. 13.7% of the selected youngs were victims of regular violences in school sphere and 12.8% in urban environment. The expression of a psychic uneasiness is linked to the previous violences they have felt. The feeling of call for help by a psychologist or a psychiatrist is in relation with the past psychic discomfort and not with the past suffered violences.
