Violence affects us all at some point, but for some children, it’s a daily reality. Every year, hundreds of young people in England and Wales are injured or killed by a sharp object. 5% of teenagers carry a weapon, 20% have been victims of violence, and most worry about it. Yet, while violence happens daily, so does prevention—we just don’t hear about it. Why does it happen? How can we stop it? Hosted by youth worker and author Ciaran Thapar (Youth Endowment Fund), Safe is a conversation about violence affecting children and young people with those who are working to stop it.

    Using Social Media to Avoid Violent Encounters, with Forrest Stuart

    ‘Social media drives violence.’ It’s a common claim, but is it true? Forrest Stuart, Professor of Sociology at Stanford University, paints a more nuanced picture. Drawing on his time with teenage gang members on the South Side of Chicago, he explores the tension between young people using social media to provoke, stay safe and seek validation, their posts being used against them in court, and the increased risks of victimisation for those living in urban poverty.    Links & Resources Website: ⁠⁠Stanford Ethnography Lab⁠⁠  Book: ⁠⁠Ballad of the Bullet: Gangs, Drill Music, and the Power of Online Infamy⁠⁠ by Forrest Stuart  Book: ⁠⁠Down, Out, and Under Arrest: Policing and Everyday Life in Skid Row⁠⁠ by Forrest Stuart  Research: ⁠⁠Children, violence and vulnerability 2025 | The scale of violence affecting children⁠⁠  Research: ⁠⁠School climate and the impact of neighborhood crime on test scores⁠⁠    The Youth Endowment Fund believes that no child should be affected by violence.   We research violence to understand it; we find, fund and test what works to prevent it; and we are building a movement to end it.   To find out more, visit ⁠⁠YEF's website⁠⁠.   Follow us on Instagram: @youthendowfund  ⁠⁠Tell us what you think in this short survey⁠⁠   Host: Ciaran Thapar, Youth Endowment Fund  Series Producer: Meera Kumar
