In their writings, students should be encouraged to (1) describe what they feel are the causes of youth violence and to (2) offer specific suggestions about what they as individuals can do to reduce violence in their homes, schools and neighborhoods. (3) Personal responsibility for responding to the problem of youth violence should be emphasized.
