Resumen

Pese a insinuaciones de los medios de que la violencia juvenil es consecuencia de una epidemia de jóvenes matones “fuera de control”, este artículo argumenta que la violencia juvenil es emblemática de circunstancias políticas, económicas y socioculturales complejas. Esta introducción expone algunos de los temas claves de los artículos de nuestro número especial titulado Youth Violence: De-Escalation Strategies and Socio-Legal Responses, que es fruto de un seminario celebrado en el Instituto Internacional de Sociología Jurídica de Oñati, en julio de 2019. Se busca reflejar el rico mosaico de factores, contextos y procesos que pueden poner a los jóvenes en riesgo de delinquir o, quizá más importante, en riesgo de criminalidad, como se presenta en el número especial. Aquí reflejamos la variedad de perspectivas que se presentan en el número especial sobre violencia juvenil y la desescalada de dicha violencia, lo cual pretende adelantar el conocimiento e identificar estrategias para regular y prevenir ese comportamiento.
