In this source types of youth gun violence are described which are school rampage
shootings and street shootings. School rampage shootings happen at a low rate and
include shootings in movie theaters, supermarkets and shopping malls. Such shootings
are random and devastating and finding preventions is a challenge. Street shootings occur
in densely populated areas with high crime rates. Bushman et al. (2016), address various
issues concerning the cause of gun violence in the youth. Access to guns is one reason
that youth gun violence is so prevalent. Data from state prisons indicate that individuals
that were incarcerated at ages below eighteen identified the black market or the streets as
the source of guns (47%). Others identified that they got guns from friends or family
members (38%). Because provide a juvenile with a fire arm is illegal and 13 percent of
youth claimed that they stole guns a majority of young gun holders get their guns from
illegal transactions.

It is important to understand the relationship of incarceration of the youth and the
elevated cases of violence that is associated by the group. As highlighted in the book
citizens of United States and the justice system accept that the accepted form of
punishment that is fit for individuals that commit acts of violence is punishment through
incarceration. Out the total incarcerations that happened in 2011 about 75,000 juveniles
were incarcerated either in adult or juvenile facilities. From the year 2000 to 2008 there
has been an estimated 60 percent growth in number of violent offenders that have been
incarcerated in the United States correctional facilities. The national research council
(2013) tries to identify the increase in youth violence due to the exposure of young
offenders to violence while in the correctional facilities both in adult and juvenile.

Jannetta and Okeke highlight the role justice system, victimization and crime play in the
well-being and productivity of the youth. By focusing on the Great Lakes Cities Jannetta
and Okeke (2017) identify economicand racial segregation, seoarate low-income and
vulnerable individuals from opportunities and expose them to stress and eventually crime.
By addressing the socio economic issues that affect the youth and lead them to crime,
youth violence can be drastically reduced. Several aspects are included in the study and
identify how and why the youth end up in the violence and criminal lifestyle. Jannette
and Okeke (2017), claim that the involvement of criminal justice affects the development
of the youth and interferes with desistence, which is the process in which the youth that
were involved with criminal life stop offending. Structural inequities increases exposure
of the youth to crime. Crime is highly concentrated in areas with social disorganization
and increased levels of crime. Remedies are provided on how to tackle the youth violence
and crimes.
