【解析】暴力行为不只是犯罪问题，同时也是关系到公众健康的问题。宾夕法尼亚大学刑事学者萨拉.海勒的一项研究显示开展在校青少年暑期打工活动或许能帮助减少青少年的犯罪行为，有效制止暴力事件的发生。

【1】are injured考查动词被动语态。文章介绍当前存在的社会状况，所以用一般现在时态，从语境可知用被动形式，根据主谓一致的原则可知填are injured。

【2】costly考查形容词。Prove是系动词后面应该用形容词做表语，故填costly（昂贵的）。

【3】to reduce考查非谓语动词。从语义可知此处表示目的，用不定式短语，填to reduce。

【4】whom考查关系代词。根据结构判断是非限制性定语从句，指代people，故填whom。

【5】education考查名词。形容词后应该用名词，填education。

【6】Based考查非谓语动词。此处是非谓语短语做状语，用过去分词Based。

【7】violent考查形容词。修饰名词应该用形容词，填violent。

【8】apparently考查副词。此处修饰动词help，应该用副词，填apparently。

【9】and考查连词。从语义可知此处三个动词是并列关系，填and。

【10】a考查冠词。根据语境判断此处指像青少年暴力这样复杂和具有破坏力的问题，是泛指概念，填a。
