Description
Recognizing the need for community responsibility and coordinated action to deal effectively with young people involved or affiliated with gangs, this report explores the rationale for community regulation of "bad" gangs, the general characteristics and sociology of gang behavior in the Austin community, and several successful community strategies from around the county which provide valuable lessons for Communities In Schools in its efforts to serve at-risk youth.
