5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Look at Gangs and Gang Enforcement, June 6, 2006
By 
Busywhiskers (Newberg, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gang Investigations: A Street Cop's Guide (Paperback)
Fascinating look at the gang subculture and the means law enforcement people use to supress their criminal activity and protect the public. I was expecting a somewhat dry, clinical and technical treatment of the subject. Instead I found the book, well written, engaging and interesting. This is probably because the authors have years of proven real experience in gang enforcement, in a community noted for it's gang activity, and their writing style conveys the sense that they know what they are talking about. If I have any criticism of the book it would be that it is too short, particularly the material on gang culture and history.

5.0 out of 5 stars 12A52 Gunfighter, November 8, 2007
This review is from: Gang Investigations: A Street Cop's Guide (Paperback)
If you are a cop in Southern California, and you are working gangs, then you need this book. I take that back, if you are a gang cop period, you need this book. It contains information that you can use in the field tonight, and tomorrow night. No BS in this book. Great use of the law and enforcement techniques, I wish these guys had a class.
