Dix années de recherche à l'IRDS pour contrer les méfaits de la violence chez les jeunes des Centres jeunesse

The concept of violence formulated by the IRDS includes both violence experienced and violence perpetrated. Solutions proposed to counter its damaging consequences are based on the following research strategies: 1) be more aware of the harm inflicted on children and where it is rooted in order to, in part, inform the public and promote effective prevention programs; 2) better identify the perpetrators of violence and the risk factors within the family such as marital conflicts and mental health issues; 3) identify the factors for prevention such as stable family relationships.
