Relevance:
Latin America is the most dangerous region of the world, with more than 150,000 homicides per year. The high levels of violence, affect specially youth, not only as perpetrators, but also as victims. In 2017 Internet penetration in Latin America was of 66.1% (world average was of 53.1%). For that reason it is very important to have a discussion about the role of ICTs as pieces of the puzzle to prevent youth violence or to enhance it. In one hand violent groups are using the ICTs to make their violent acts, or to add more young people to their groups (Pandillas, Maras), but in other hand ICTs can be used to prevent violence. And also of great importance, how this incorporation of ICTs into youth violence prevention policies does not degenerate into a massive violation of digital privacy rights or in its manipulation for political repression purposes and violation of human rights. This should be discussed in a comparative perspective with other regions, where recruitment of young people, using ICTs, is in the center of the debate regarding extremism violence. The phenomena in LAC isn´t the same, but do have commonalities. How ICTs influence in youth violence in Latin America Region?
