The risk factors for perpetuating youth violence are relationship factors which could be with friends, family members, and caregivers. Community and societal risks are also factors. This includes anyone in their community who is considered dangerous and low family income. Family factors are more prevalent in children whose parents are addicts, criminals, and parents who do not pay enough attention to the children. If a child is bullied or beat on at home they are going to be more likely to repeat the actions when in school. The child is more likely to do what they have seen at home. Some children may not get the attention they are looking for at home so when they come to school they seek the attention but receive it in the wrong way.
