Abstract
In today’s society, the proliferation of violent attitudes among adolescents is becoming increasingly made known, pointing to this group as the origin of violent acts affected by the phenomenon of radicalization that can lead to violent extremism. In this study, we focused on finding out how adolescents justify the use of violence and whether the characteristics of the environment play an important role in justifying and predisposing them to the use of violence. The total sample consisted of 1170 students from secondary schools in western Almeria, where the average age ranged from 12 to 19 years old. Data collection was carried out by means of a validated questionnaire and a quantitative analysis. The results show that young people and adolescents justify the use of violence as a reaction to the influence of external factors linked to the context, the implication of them being the need to develop educational polices of prevention and intervention as elementary factors in the fight against violence and radicalization among the student body.
