Reviews

Grade 7 UpABrief articles offering contrasting viewpoints address three questions: "How Serious a Problem Are Gangs in the United States?" "What Factors Encourage Gang Behavior?" and "How Can Gangs Be Eliminated?" Each chapter is a summation of research culled from books, interviews, and articles. Stewart does a fine job of presenting the information in a concise, straightforward format. She maintains her objectivity throughout and succeeds in giving equal time to both sides. The information is general enough to be of use to readers with no background on the subject. Occasional black-and-white photographs, cartoons, and graphs reinforce the text. One appendix includes lists of facts and statistics about gangs; another offers extensive summaries of documents related to the subject. The book concludes with a list of study questions, suggestions for further reading, and a thorough subject index. Students will find the material thoughtfully organized, well presented, and easy to access. A book for most collections.AEdward Sullivan, New York Public Library
