Contributing Organization(s): Justice Policy Institute
Author(s)/Creator(s): Judith Greene; Kevin Pranis
Publishing Date: 2007-07-01
Issue Areas: Children and Youth; Crime and Safety
Intended Audience:
This report attempts to clarify some of the persistent misconceptions about gangs and to assess the successes and failures of approaches that have been employed to respond to gangs. We undertook an extensive review of the research literature on gangs because we believe that the costs of uninformed policy making -- including thousands of lives lost to violence or imprisonment -- are simply too high.
