Impact of violence on child growth and youth development: newark new jersey study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
It is undeniable that violence has a huge impact on the mental and behavioral aspect of the general growth and development of a child into adulthood. Considering the high level of violence in Newark, New Jersey in 2012, we decided to understand the level of childhood exposure to violence and its role to present day violence. Using a sample of youths who has had exposure to some form of violent acts, we conducted a study to depict if there was any form of violence exposure during their childhood formative years. This was achieved using a survey analysis completed by participants and the survey contained questions on different forms of violence and their roles in the act. We concluded that early exposure of a child to any form of violence is contributory to the general attributes and behavior of the child as a youth/ teenager/ adult.
