Endemic Violence: Deaths by Homicide for Young People Ages 15-24 in Selected Countries Worldwide (per 1000 inhabitants) (in Portuguese*)

Reasons and key findings for “Opening Moves” responses. 

o In the largest proportion of violent incidents,

the "opening move" involved a relatively minor

affront but escalated from there. Few opening moves

were predatory. 

o The largest number of incidents took place among

young people who knew each other, and the school or

the home was the place where most incidents began. 

o The most common goal was retribution, and the

justifications and excuses offered indicated this

stemmed not from an absence of values but from a

well-developed value system in which violence is

acceptable.

 Faces of Change- Your Face could be here too!

2007-2008 NATIONAL SAVE YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD The National Youth Advisory Board (YAB) consists of high school SAVE members from across the country. Serving on the National SAVE Youth Advisory Board takes many hours of service during the school year. On average, most members contribute over 300 hours of time with work for the YAB, work with their chapter, and individual projects or presentations. Serving as a member of this prestigious and select group requires commitment, dedication and sacrifice of time and often other organizational events.

NATIONAL SAVE AMBASSADORS SAVE Ambassadors consist of students from across the country who have formally served on the National Youth Advisory Board. Ambassadors assist the National Youth Advisory Board in planning activities across the country and serving as trainers and speakers.

 The tour guides are mostly teenagers who grew up on the city's north side. They are now members of "Northside Youth Standup!," a group of young people looking to combat violence and other problems in north Minneapolis.      

How will you help stop the violence and create a change ?     

 I will help change by educating the youth about things they can do to stop violence.
