> The rise of immigrant populations has altered racial and ethnic politics, transformed urban communities, and undone conventional wisdom about patterns of acculturation and assimilation in the United States. The field of youth violence prevention has not been immune to these far-reaching changes. Clearly, the factors that put young immigrants, particularly those in the second generation, at risk for victimization and violence are only beginning to be understood. Moreover, community-based efforts to protect immigrant youth from these dangers are relatively new and require systematic evaluation. The Asian Pacific Islander Youth Violence Prevention Center was a pioneer in addressing these issues, and its efforts already have yielded significant benefits by critically analyzing theories of immigrant violence, gathering data on these issues, offering recommendations for change, and working with communities to implement reforms. http://issc.berkeley.edu/CDC_execsum.pdf
 * //Still today we have even more people coming to this country and we are starting to take mayor actions. They are passing laws for immigrants that are in this country so they cant stay if they were not here for some time people cant help them or they will be introuble. Alot of immigrants protest aginst it they had walkouts and other forms of protest this country was made from immigrants. People treat other people diffrent just because of their racie and where they are from people dont care for them they start using force but its not like back in the days were cops didnt even care now they do. Some people dont they want them out they just came here to start a better life everyone needs a chance they are hard workers we need them.//**
