Abstract

Millones de ninos, ninas y adolescentes alrededor del mundo sufren de la exposición a diferentes formas de violencia, incluido el maltrato físico, abuso emocional, el castigo físico, el observar violencia intrafamiliar o de pareja y la negligencia. En este documento presento teorías y evidencia empírica sobre la causas, consecuencias y posibles soluciones a la violencia contra ninos, ninas y adolescentes. En particular, discuto modelos teóricos y evidencia empírica para entender factores de riesgo contextuales que pueden incrementar el riesgo de exposición a la violencia. Adicionalmente, presento teorías y evidencias sobre algunas consecuencias neuronales, físicas, cognitivas, socioemocionales y económicas de la violencia en la infancia y adolescencia. Finalmente, propongo algunas intervenciones y estrategias prometedoras y recomendaciones de política para reducir la violencia contra ninos, ninas y adolescentes. ***** Millions of children and adolescents around the world are exposed to different forms of violence, including physical maltreatment, emotional abuse, corporal punishment, witnessing intimate partner violence, and neglect. In this document, I present theories and empirical evidence on the causes, consequences, and interventions to reduce violence against children and adolescents. In particular, I discuss theoretical models and empirical evidence on risk factors for violence against children. Moreover, I present theories and evidence on the neural, physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and economic consequences of violence in childhood and adolescence. Finally, I propose some promising interventions, strategies, and policy recommendations aimed at reducing violence against children and adolescents.
