| Summary: | Aggression as undesirable risk behaviour is a serious social problem which requires effective prevention and intervention solutions. This paper focuses on concept of Social Capital as an important factor in reduction of aggressive behaviour in family, school and neighbourhood. Relationships amongst family members, the involvement of parents in school activities, the participation of young people at school events and hobby groups and the activities of local youth and religious institutions can be identified as relevant components of social capital decreasing juvenile aggression. Positive social relationships offer an adequate prevention of adolescent aggression but also facilitate the inclusion of young people (who during adolescence and “dramatic clashes” create their personal identity, ultimately determining their life as adults) into society.
