  Youth and Political Violence: The problem of anomie and the role of youth organisations - Monique Marks
Where township youth organisations have legitimate, well-trained and responsible leadership, youth who are committed to organisation will feel compelled to adhere to the discipline and authority of the organisation and to account for their behaviour or face the consequences of not following the principles or codes of conduct of the organisation.
Many have outgrown youth organisation, others have become disillusioned and have relented their activism, others are simply not interested in being part of youth organisation for a number of reasons which need to be explored, yet others have become involved in more sinister activities as gangsters or part of the "comtsotsi" phenomenon.
Youth organisations because of their powerful position as legitimate bodies for the youth also need to play a role in reasserting the need for rebuilding constructive relationships between adults and youth in the schools and in the families and households of the youth.

 The future of the Lomé Convention, young people and youth organisations
While young people and youth organisations have taken a leading role in particular countries in these areas, on the whole they are excluded from participation in the implementation, planning or evaluation of mainstream development programmes.
From a youth organisation perspective, it is felt that many young people in Europe and ACP countries do not possess enough information to take a clear position concerning the future of the Lomé Convention.
Children and Youth stand in the historical space between the present and the future; one foot in the present one in the future; as the witnesses to a past and present of injustice, with the hope and possibility of a more just world.
