It aims to present a perspective outside of the typical Western context, through case studies comparing a developed \/ Western democracy (Germany), a country with a history of institutionalized violence (South Africa), and an emerging democracy that has experienced heavy terrorism (Pakistan). Building on earlier works, the research presented in this innovative volume provides new insights into the sociocultural context for shaping both young people's tolerance of and involvement in violence, depending on their environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e This volume covers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearch on interpersonal violence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThorough review of the contribution of research on gangs, violence, neighborhoods and community.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyses on violence-related norms of male juveniles (ages 16-21 years old) living in high-risk urban neighborhoods.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntense discussion of the concept of street code and its use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication of street code concept to contexts outside the US.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn integrating chapter focused on where the street code exists, and how it is modified or interpreted by young men.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a foreword by Jeffrey Ian Ross, this book aims to provide a broader context for research.
