Introduction

A look at the existing statistics indicates that youth violence has been on the rise and the youth are increasing engaging in crime . The

most affected are the low income neighborhoods and immense studies have focused on this phenomenon . The recent years have witnessed the United States and indeed a number of Western Europe countries being gripped by a spate of senseless shootings in high schools and colleges . This kind of violence had seen a number of people succumb to youth 's murderous rage . Closely related to this is the youth involvement in gangs that commit all manner of crimes . Though the issue of violence has received widespread attention from scholars , the bigger proportion is biased towards male youth on the assumption that female violence is at insignificant level . It has however been established that female violence is on the rise . This indicates that though this violence is on the rise , it is yet to take the shape that characterizes the male youth violence , female youth violence is at a subtle stage and is yet to degenerate into serious violent crime
