4.0 out of 5 stars A gang primer in one book, April 19, 2000

Mark Chupp (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gangs in America (Paperback)

This edited volume provides a balanced approach to gangs that includes defining and measuring gang participation in several urban settings. Special attention is given to the role of ethnicity and gender in gang involvement. Most importantly, the book integrates individual behavioral factors with ecological and socioeconomic dimensions that contribute to an increase in gang activity. The book ends with several case studies of community responses. Edited by one of the leading gang scholars, this is a must read.
