Title: Gang Awareness Update 2010

Description: The proliferation of gang problems in large and small cities, suburbs, and even rural areas over the last two decades led to the development of a comprehensive, coordinated response to America's gang problem by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). As reported in the latest National Youth Gang Survey, some 788,000 gang members and 27,000 gangs were active in more than 3,550 U.S. jurisdictions in 2007. As most gang members join between the ages of 12 and 15, prevention is a critical strategy within a comprehensive response to gangs that includes intervention, suppression and re-entry. This presentation will discuss relevant research and best practices for gang prevention and intervention with at-risk youth as well as the key components of successful prevention, intervention , suppression and re-entry programs. Resources for use when working with gang members and at-risk youth will also be provided.
