Jones --Living in the Shadow of Death: Gangs, Violence, and Social Order in urban Nicaragua, 1996-2002 / Dennis Rodgers -- Security at Stake: Dealingwith Violenceand Public (In)security in a Popular Neighborhood in Guadalajara, Mexico / Monique Sonnevelt -- Good Times and Bad Blood: Violence, Solidarity and Social Organization on Dominican Streets / Jon Wolseth -- "Gaining Respect": The Logic of Violence among Young Men in the Barrios of Caracas, Venezuela / Verâonica Zubillaga -- Piloting Experimental Methods in Youth Gang Research: A Camping Expedition with Rival Manchas in Ayacucho, Peru / Cordula Strocka -- The Dilemmas of Politically Sensitive Medicalized Approaches to Reducing Youth Violence in Pelotas, Brazil / Dominique P.

Criminal violence has come dramatically to the forefront in contemporary Latin America, to the extent that it is widely considered the critical social concern of the present. Youth are among the principal victims but also the primary perpetrators of this new panorama of brutality.At the same time, the phenomenon remains profoundly misunderstood, as sensationalist myths and stereotypes abound. Through the juxtaposition of wide-ranging, cutting-edge studies focusing specifically on youth gangs and the dynamics of juvenile justice, this volume provides a balanced and systematic comparativeoverview of the reality of present-day Latin American youth violence.
