Abstract	Although learning the value of being nonviolent at home is very important, school and community programs are also valuable, because participants can work together to prevent violence in their neighborhoods and can help each other avoid violence. Education programs can include conflict resolution and mediation training as school courses. Crime prevention and law-related education help young people reduce their chances of becoming victims of crime or perpetrators themselves. Programs to teach youth about the dangers of guns and gun safety are new, and little research has demonstrated their effectiveness, but it is probable that such programs are useful. Life skills training also can help young people learn how to avoid conflict. Recreation programs by themselves are not enough to prevent youth violence, but they can help control tensions in the community and be a valuable addition to education programs. Even though many violence prevention strategies are effective alone, their value is greater when they are combined. Multi-intervention programs add to education and recreation programs in addressing youth violence. (SLD)
