The magnitude of the problem is staggering and persistent. Of the top 50 most violent cities in the world, 42 are in LAC. In 2010 alone, 142,302 people in LAC fell victim to homicide, representing 390 homicides per day and 4.06 homicides every 15 minutes. Crime disproportionately affects young men aged 20 to 24, whose homicide rate of 92 per 100,000 nearly quadruples that of the region. The focus of Crime Prevention in Latin America and the Caribbean is to identify policy interventions that, whether by design or indirect effect, have been shown to affect antisocial behavior early in life and patterns of criminal offending in youth and adults. Particular attention is devoted to recent studies that rigorously establish a causal link between the interventions in question and outcomes. This publication adopts a lifecycle perspective and argues that as individuals progress through different stages of the lifecycle, not only do different sets of risk factors arise and take more prominence, but their interactions and interdependencies shape human behavior. These interactions and the relative importance of different sets of risk factors identify relevant margins that can effectively be targeted by prevention policies, not only early in life, but throughout the lifecycle. Indeed prevention can never start too early, nor start too late, nor be too comprehensive."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Violence $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Education $x Social aspects $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Violence $x Economic aspects $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $z Latin America $x Growth. 650 0 $a Poverty $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Crime $z Latin America. 650 7 $a Cities and towns $x Growth. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861781 650 7 $a Crime. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00882984 650 7 $a Education $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902773 650 7 $a Poverty. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074093 650 7 $a Violence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167224 650 7 $a Violence $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167226 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 650 7 $a 15.85 history of America. $0 (NL-LeOCL)07761190X $2 nbc 651 7 $a Latin America. $0 (NL-LeOCL)078570980 $2 gtt 776 08 $i Online version: $a Chioda, Laura. $t Stop the violence in Latin America . $d Washington, D.C. : World Bank, 2017 $z 9781464806650 $w (OCoLC)1000384590 830 0 $a Latin American development forum. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217023129.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AAC4BD70840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
