To become a member of the OSU Youth Violence Prevention Advisory Board individuals must attend 6 monthly YVPAB as a visitor and be recommended for full membership by a current active YVPAB member. Joining this online Network does not automatically make you a member. We are open to new members but already have a core committed group of members who are busy developing and implementing our collaborative work. As a visitor you will have the opportunity to learn more about our work and determine what you can bring.

In order to know how to successfully intervene in potentially violent situations that young people may face adults need to understand what youth are experiencing in the moment when conflict escalates to violence. If you want to learn from 416 young men who were deeply involved in violent behavior you should read Wilkinson 2010 Oxford theory chapter final.pdfthis article.

It will be published by Oxford University press.
