Youth violence is a phenomenon that plagues our way of life both locally and internationally, leading to costly consequences. Youth violence ranks among the top five causes of death among youth. Risk assessment tools that measure the future risk of violence have been developed to identify at-risk youth, allowing risk-reduction measures to be implemented to reduce the risk of chronic violence. Some researchers interested in determining the level of risk in certain individuals concern themselves solely with the assessment of risk, while others attempt to determine possible solutions to the issues. However, the development and evolution of risk assessment for future violence among youth should not become stagnate, as there are both gender and ethnicity differences that must be considered when approaching risk assessment and the reduction of future risk of violence.

青年暴力是一种在当地和国际上困扰我们生活方式的现象，导致代价高昂的后果。青少年暴力是青少年死亡的前五位。已经开发出用于衡量未来暴力风险的风险评估工具，以识别处于危险中的青年，从而可以采取降低风险的措施来降低慢性暴力的风险。一些对确定某些人的风险水平感兴趣的研究人员仅将自己与风险评估相关，而其他研究人员则试图确定问题的可能解决方案。但是，针对青年未来暴力行为的风险评估的发展和演变不应停滞不前，
