This book examines the current debate about UK street gangs termed the ‘UK Gang Thesis’ debate. It argues that policy formations in the UK aimed at addressing street gangs preceding and succeeding the English riots of 2011 have encompassed positions of both gang denial and gang blame. The policy pendulum of denial and blame raises questions about where UK gang-policy stands, and which ideas and influences have framed our responses to this issue. The book will explore the UK Gangs Thesis using an analysis of empirical evidence from three sites in three English regions which encompasses periods of both gang denial and gang blame. This book is an examination of the relationship between theory, policy and practice in the context of the current UK gangs-discourse, and one of the first to examine the country lines phenomena. There is a need to formulate a less partisan analysis of gangs in the UK, and to recapture the debate from analyses which understate or overstate the gang problem. In order to do so, Andell argues that a realist approach is needed which defines what constitutes social reality and overcomes theoretical and methodological difficulties in order to critique present formulations of gangs. This book provides this critique and makes suggestions for a more comprehensive and democratic approach to gang policy, in what can be termed a critical realist approach to gangs.

Reclaiming Our Streets: Rethinking Gang Outreach for an Effective Solution ★★★By TQ BONNER★★★ In "Reclaiming Our Streets," the author takes us on a gripping journey through the heart of communities plagued by gang violence and offers a groundbreaking perspective on tackling this crisis. Drawing from years of first-hand experience within the criminal justice system, the author brings to light the devastating impact of gangs on our neighborhoods, particularly at-risk youth. As a street outreach supervisor, the author led a team on a mission to persuade gang members to choose a different path, away from crime's clutches. However, the struggle to save these young lives from a downward spiral often ended in heartbreak. Each funeral they attended for fallen teenagers served as a haunting reminder of the urgent need for action. One pivotal moment shattered the author's emotional defenses, leading to a profound realization of the need for a new approach. A heart-wrenching encounter with a ♥young girl ♥at a funeral made the author question the effectiveness of traditional gang outreach initiatives. In "Reclaiming Our Streets," the author fearlessly examines the limitations of current outreach strategies, presenting compelling evidence that demands a reevaluation of our efforts. This eye-opening book emphasizes the need for awareness and action to address the root causes of gang violence. The author meticulously analyzes the impact of social and economic factors on the emergence and sustenance of gangs within our communities. "Reclaiming Our Streets" is groundbreaking, challenges conventional notions, and calls for a paradigm shift in our fight against gang violence. It presents a comprehensive and compassionate roadmap toward an effective solution, urging us all to unite in reclaiming our neighborhoods, one street at a time. This book is a must-read for ✓Policymakers. ✓Law enforcement agencies. ✓Community leaders. ✓Mentors ✓Gang Outreach coordinators ✓Juvenile counselors ✓Faith-based organizations Anyone who yearns to see safer streets and a brighter future for our youth.

This critical textbook looks beyond the immediate data on knife crime to try and make sense of what is a global phenomenon. Yet it especially explores why the UK in particular has become so preoccupied by this form of interpersonal, often youthful, violence. The book explores knife crime in its global and historical context and examines crime patterns including the “second wave” of knife crime in Britain. It then incorporates new empirical data to explore key themes including: police responses, popular narratives, and the various interests benefiting from the 'knife crime industry'. It captures the “voices” of those impacted by knife crime including young people, community leaders, and youth work practitioners. Drawing on criminology, sociology, cultural studies and history, the book argues that the problem is firmly located at the intersection of a series of concerns about class, race, gender and generation that are a product of British history and its global past. It seeks to trace the several roots of the contemporary knife crime 'epidemic', ultimately to propose newer and alternative strategies for responding to it. It encourages a critical engagement with this subject, with the inclusion of some learning exercises for undergraduate students and above in the the social sciences, whilst also speaking to researchers, policy-makers and practitioners.

This book is an examination of contemporary gangs in American cities. Gangs have proliferated over the past ten years and pose a new set of challenges to public officials, law enforcement agencies, and urban educators. Most major cities are now confronted with serious problems derived from gang violence, drug traffic, and disruption of the public educational system. In the face of deindustrialization and deepening recession, many minority youngsters view gangs as attractive alternatives to a futile search for employment in a deteriorating urban economy. Perhaps most significant, gangs are now beginning to emerge in small and medium-sized cities. Some of the nations leading scientists and scholars have been brought together in this book to examine the contemporary contours of Americas gang problem, including Daniel J. Monti, Joan Moore, Scott Cummings, Howard Pinderhughes, Diego Vigil, Ray Hutchison, Felix Padilla, Jerome H. Skolnick, Pat Jackson, and Robert A. Destro. New material dealing with wilding gangs, migration and drug trafficking, and public educational disruption appear in this volume. Other topics covered include how gangs are organized, what social function they serve, their relation to conventional society, and the social and psychological factors that contribute to their rise. The relationship of the contemporary gang problem to past research is explored, and a rich variety of case histories and comparative analysis is presented. The book also includes a section on public policy.
