In Brazil, approximately 56%, that is, more of the half of the victims of the total of homicides committed have between 15 and 29 years of age. The research started by gathering and collecting newspapers´ news regarding death situations as well as those of vulnerabilities concerning the young. The reports served as starting points to "debate sessions" with young people from various social segments. The aim of the research was to investigate in which ways young people live under violence and express their understanding of the risks and vulnerability to which they are exposed. This research, as it instigates reflection on how urban violence and vulnerability affect the subjective experience of the young, contributes to the creation of interventionist programs of preventive character.
