Abstract: Urban violence refers to any form of violence occurring in cities and suburbs. It may involve delinquent acts such as theft, physical assault, harassment, vandalism, etc. This article aims to provide a scientific explanation for the violent behavior and practices of young people. The observations and analyses conducted in this case study will seek, through an ethnographic approach, to go beyond the collected data in order to identify this new reality currently experienced in cities, especially in overcrowded neighborhoods, and to determine the factors contributing to the spread of this urban violence phenomenon in our towns and villages. Urban violence is a complex phenomenon that can have serious and lasting consequences on the affected individuals, families, and communities, in addition to being influenced by a variety of factors, including social inequalities, economic factors, and peer group dynamics.
