5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and enlightening!, June 5, 1998
By 
Privacy Matters (Earth, This Solar System) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gang Intelligence Manual: Identifying And Understanding Modern-Day Violent Gangs In The United States (Paperback)
The author of this book is a former Correctional Officer. He served as his prison's gang intelligence officer so he provides plenty of first-hand expertise. This book really goes into depth with respect to revealing the gang world. Methods of recruitment, training, and how gangs make their money in and out of prison are all covered. A very good read if you're really serious about learning and understanding the "gang life."

This review is from: Gang Intelligence Manual: Identifying And Understanding Modern-Day Violent Gangs In The United States (Paperback)
As a criminal defense lawyer who represents gang members it was an obvious read as law enforcement utilizes it to train their officers. Most of the information is dated and of little use. It is however a good starting point to understand gang behavior.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but kinda outdated, April 15, 2009
This review is from: Gang Intelligence Manual: Identifying And Understanding Modern-Day Violent Gangs In The United States (Paperback)
This book should be on everyone's shelf that works in LE. It's information is a bit outdated, but the gangs are changing so fast that last weeks news is also outdated.

For anyone just starting out and wanting gang intel...this is a great start!

Stay Safe!
