The violent youth in Asia, Africa, Latin America and some parts of Europe share the common cultural traits: recognition, respect, honor, self-defense, and symbolic culture. Meanwhile, this seminar will discuss the space of socio-cultural integration of the conflicting and violent youth.
Beside this, the seminar will also discuss the prevailing penal cultures across societies. How the violent youth is treated in the existing normative and legal structure in different countries?
