Sueños, bandas y pistolas: La Interacción entre la violencia adolescente y la inmigración en un vecindario de la ciudad de Nueva York
Publicado
01-05-2004
Resumen
Prevenir la violencia entre adolescentes es necesario para conseguir la seguridad de colegios, barrios y de los propios adolescentes, pero la prevención efectiva requiere una comprensión de sus causas. Este informe utiliza cinco años de trabajo de campo en una comunidad inmigrante de la ciudad de Nueva York para describir cómo la distancia generacional que separa a los adolescentes inmigrantes de sus padres, es ampliada por el proceso de inmigración. La experiencia migratoria y la separación generacional llevan a los adolescentes que se sienten amenazados a buscar protección en bandas. Mientras que anteriores investigaciones han explicado la violencia adolescente entre inmigrantes como un producto de la alienación cultural, este informe sugiere que gran parte de la violencia entre estos adolescentes es una respuesta pragmática a las condiciones de inseguridad del vecindario, y que las políticas de prevención debe tener por objetivo garantizar la seguridad de los adolescentes.
