dc.description.abstract | Community violence has been found to have profound negative effects on the lives of
those exposed to it daily. The victims often tend to be adolescents, who, while striving for a
better future, are often quite vulnerable to its effects. The present study focuses on the
perception’s parents hold of their adolescent’s sense of safety and future aspirations in a
community with high levels of violence. The data was collected by means of semi-structured
interviews with participants residing in a community prone to violence. The researcher
purposively sampled eight participants and conducted interviews in both English and
Afrikaans. | en_US |
