"Although some adolescents are more violent than others, and some neighborhoods experience more crime and violence than others, the factors that mitigate violent and criminal behavior are largely unknown. The NIJ Research in Brief Adolescents, Neighborhoods, and Violence: Recent Findings From the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods describes the results of a study that examined the neighborhood conditions, individual characteristics, and family characteristics that contribute to adolescent violence. Results from the study work to erase misleading stereotypes about race and violence, emphasizing the importance of neighborhood conditions and social processes in contributing to adolescent violence."
