He offers an in-depth description of the Little Village Gang Violence Reduction Project, revealing the successes and failures of intervention at each level: individual youths, the gang itself, and the community at large. Spergel relates how a coalition of criminal justice, neighborhood, and academic organizations_along with a team of tactical officers, probation officers, former gang leaders, and a neighborhood organization_developed strategies for dealing with hardcore violent male youths from two gangs: the Latin Kings and Two Six. This well-known project has become the model for a series of national initiatives. Policymakers, criminologists, and gang researchers will find this model valuable for assessing gang programs and reducing gang violence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51955678576928,"sku":"NEW0759109982","price":136.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/reducing-youth-gang-violence-the-little-village-gang-project-in-chicago-violence-prevention-and-policy-0759109982","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
