¿Es la violencia juvenil un objeto de estudio que tiene una claridad irrebatible? Consideraciones teóricas

Abstract

This text is a theoretical and methodological reflection of an ongoing investigation about the object of study known as “youth violence”. One of the common problems in the study of the phenomenon of violence is that the forcefulness of its manifestations and its effects is confused with a supposed clarity of the concept. Likewise, studies on youth violence have not advanced in the theoretical discussion because they do not adequately define their object of study and focus solely on studying the damage caused by violence and the victim-perpetrator dyad. It is proposed that it is necessary to study the collective meaning of violence to understand its implementation and rationalization at the psychosocial level.
