Containment Interventions for the Youth Post-Political Violence: Zimbabwe

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The study sought to understand political youth violence, its psychological effects and how best the youth in selected Seke urban areas could be rehabilitated for reintegration into the society. The study adopted a qualitative methodological approach which emphasises on narrative and descriptive results. In-depth structured interviews and bibliometric approach were used to collect data. Thirty participants were sampled purposively for interviews that were conducted over a 90-day period before analysis of data was conducted through Latent and Manifest Content approaches. The study was anchored on the theory of Social Integration. The study established that the nature of political youth violence is not predetermined as it is dependent on the level of resistance and sychological influence. It also found out that various effects had been recorded; psychological and physiological. The study established that various containment and reintegration programmes could be rolled out realizing the gravity of the effects and future development.
