This study analyzes the linkages between urban violence, resulting from informal youth groups in Zinder, and the challenges of violent extremism in this region bordered by Northern Nigeria.

The study also identifies risk factors that can lead young people to violence, and gateways between youth delinquency and violent extremism in Zinder. It also evaluates youth's perception on violent extremist groups like Boko Haram, and the prevention measures that youths identify.
