Specifically it assumes the highest values in thepresence of criminality, as it represents not only a threat for the children and theirfamilies’ wellbeing, but can also have a negative influence on the children’ s behavior oreven instigate their involvement in illegal activities.The data collected in 2009 show that almost one fourth of the children (23%) live inareas exhibiting high environmental risk, 16,3% live in areas with middle risk and 60%in areas where there are no relevant elements of risk. Risks are higher in the urbanslums where almost one third of the children live in a risky environment characterizedby the presence of criminality. On the contrary, in the rural areas two thirds of thechildren live in absence of risk (Fig. 28).44
