Youth and adolescents’ perceptions of violence in post-apartheid South Africa: A systematic review

Magister Psychologiae - MPsych / The history of South Africa is embedded in violence. This can be traced to the arrival of the
Dutch settlers in 1652, to the Afrikaner–nationalist ideology of apartheid, and finally into the
current dispensation of democracy. Historically, violence with its various forms and negative
sequelae, has been narrated from an adult-centred perspective. Thus, due to the paucity of
literature from the perspective of youth and adolescents, this study aims to review and
synthesise the findings of existing empirical studies focusing on youth and adolescents’
perceptions of violence in post-apartheid South Africa.
