N2  - This study offers a qualitative comparison of risk factors for youth violence from the perspectives of community stakeholders in a low-income, urban community  experiencing elevated rates of violence. One-on-one interviews were conducted with  36 community stakeholders across three key categories: 10 community residents who  cared for youth living in the community, 15 program or service providers, and 11  leaders in community agencies and organizations. A grounded theory approach was used  for data collection and analysis to extract themes that emerged from the question,  "What are the things in the community that lead to youth violence?" While there was  significant overlap in stakeholders' beliefs about precursors to youth violence,  important differences also emerged. In order for youth violence prevention  strategies to be successful, they must consider and address risk factors identified  by community stakeholders involved in the implementation and sustainability.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
