Abstract:

In contemporary society youth population suffers the impact of relationships that are established in scenarios of multiple dimensions of violence in the public and private spaces within the urban territories. The paper describes the experiences of different types of violence perpetration and victimization by a group of young people that live in a Metropolitan Area of Brasilia, Central-West Brazil. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study that takes a quantitative approach using a convenience sample of 190 male and female young people aged 15 to 24 years. The instrument of data collection was developed with validated questions used in previous studies. Based on the findings, 51% had suffered at least one episode of violence throughout their lives, 24% in the past year. The respondents who suffered at least one episode of violence throughout their lives also described that the city where they live do not promote urban well-being (p<0,023), they expressed sadness and depressive feelings (p= 001), and self-rated their health condition as very bad (p= 000). The experience of violence and the processes of youth vulnerability were discussed in the light of social inequality and limitations of human capacity.
