Synopsis
Gangs and Crime: Explanations and Interventions presents readers with a curated collection of readings that explore various issues, challenges, and proposed solutions related to street gangs in the United States.
The book is organized into two distinct units, which focus on the history and causes of gangs and societal responses to gangs, respectively. Opening chapters describe the historical emergence of early gangs, the definitions and typologies that challenge our understanding of these groups, the dynamics of gang violence, and the personal experiences of youth within the gang ecosystem. The second unit shifts the lens to how society, law enforcement, and communities interface with gangs, including discussions on public policy, preventative measures, and interventions in addressing gang-related challenges.
Gangs and Crime is well suited for college courses examining urban issues, criminology, social work, and public policy. The readings within the book stimulate critical thinking and provide a diverse range of perspectives, facilitating a comprehensive discussion on the past and present state of gangs, and the corresponding socio-legal landscape. Selected readings are intended to supplement lectures, presentations, and other multimedia instructors use in a course on gangs. The instructor will have flexibility to focus on areas where they are an expert.
