Résumé
Cet article compare la violence annuellement vécue par un échantillon de jeunes (2 à 17 ans) Québécois pris en charge par la Direction de la protection de la jeunesse (DPJ) et celle subie par les jeunes de la population générale. Les résultats démontrent que les jeunes pris en charge vivent significativement plus de violence et qu’une grande partie d’entre eux font face à de la violence chronique dans plusieurs sphères de leur vie. Les trajectoires susceptibles d’expliquer leur risque accru de victimisation et les implications pour l’intervention sont discutées. Les besoins multiples de ces jeunes soulignent l’importance de développer une vision plus holistique de leur vécu de victimisation et de leurs problèmes. Une plus grande collaboration des divers intervenants et organismes impliqués auprès des jeunes est susceptible de favoriser une approche moins fragmentée et une intervention mieux adaptée.

Abstract
This article compares the annual violence experiences of a sample of Quebec’s children (2 to 17 years old) followed by child welfare agencies, with those of a sample of children from the general population. The results reveals that the children followed by child welfare agencies experienced significantly more violence and that many are chronically victimized in many areas of their lives. The authors discuss the possible trajectories linked to their increased victimization risk and the implications for intervention in child welfare. Given the multiple needs and victimizations experiences of these children, a more holistic approach and more collaboration between agencies and other professionals involved with children is recommended.

Resumen
El presente artículo compara la violencia vivida anualmente por una muestra de menores quebequenses (de 2 a 17 años) puestos bajo la tutela de la dirección de la protección de la juventud (DPJ). Los resultados demuestran que los menores institucionalizados viven significativamente más violencia y que una gran parte de ellos se enfrentan a una violencia crónica en varias esferas de sus vidas. Las trayectorias susceptibles de explicar el riesgo aumentado de victimización y las implicaciones para la intervención serán tratadas en este artículo. Las múltiples necesidades de estos jóvenes subrayan la importancia de desarrollar una visión más holística de sus vivencias de victimización y de sus problemas. Una mayor colaboración de los diversos actores y organismos implicados con los jóvenes es susceptible de favorizar un enfoque menos fragmentado y una intervención más adaptada.
