The Youth Violence Prevention (YVP) program was created in 1999 to support community-based organizations as they analyzed risk and protective factors of youth violence so that they could address the issue at early stages by choosing appropriate interventions. This monograph provides a description of the initiative along with its key elements and also highlights the experiences of various YVP communities.
