The adolescent peak in violence and crime is greater in modern cultures than intraditional cultures. Adolescents who are sensation seekers and who believe that they are invulnerable are more violent than adolescents who are neither. Adolescents report that their risky and violent behavior is a way to set themselves apart from the adult world while gaining status among their peers. The adolescent peak in violence among young males is triggered by public signs of disrespect or challenges to status.
