While other cities are credited for birthing and honing the legendary crime figures who inevitably influenced and shaped their susceptible surroundings and culture, Miami is where the Mob, like many American citizens, often turned when seeking vacation, vice, or a new beginning. Dating back to the first quarter of the 20th century, resourceful gangsters from across the nation recognized the profitable business opportunities Miami could provide with its booming population, perfect year-round climate, cooperative law enforcement, and mutual understanding among otherwise rival gangs. The promise of an open city, free from familiar encumbrances and restrictions, prompted eager mobsters from around the country to migrate south and trade in their suits and fedoras for swim trunks and flip-flops. Organized Crime in Miami examines the considerable yet heavily underpublicized involvement of the American Mafia in South Florida and its lasting impact on the community through their business activities, both illegal and within the confines of the law.

Most have heard of Alphonse "Al" Gabriel Capone, also known as "Scarface," who rose to become the undisputed king of the Chicago outfit during the Prohibition era. Most know he became one of America's most infamous gangsters who earned the moniker Public Enemy Number One. His connection to New York and Chicago crime families along with his committing assorted murders and the running of gambling dens, whorehouses, and speakeasies is legendary and readily acknowledged in myriad books, documentaries, and TV shows. But few know the intimate details about his time in Florida, especially the greater Miami area. It was here he hoped to escape Chicago's cold and windy winters, gangland retaliation wars, and incessant harassment by the law. Capone longed for paradise, where sunshine was a daily commodity, boating and fishing could be easily enjoyed along a sandy coast lapped by azure Atlantic waters, nightlife consisted of high class entertainment clubs and gambling houses, and relaxing by the pool was as easy as stepping out your back door. And so, Capone settled in South Florida where he purchased a luxurious home on Miami Beach, spent time before and after his imprisonment, ran his illegal businesses, and entertained the famous and infamous alike. It is here he also died. This story is about that time.

Why young people participate in violent gang behavior The effects of gang violence are witnessed every day on the streets, in the news, and on the movie screen. In all these forums, gangs of young adults are associated with drugs and violence. Yet what is it that prompts young people to participate in violent behavior? And what can be done to extract adolescents from the gangster world of crime, death, and incarceration once they have become involved? In Gangsters: 50 Years of Madness, Drugs, and Death on the Streets of America, Lewis Yablonsky provides answers to the most baffling and crucial questions regarding gangs. Using information gathered from over forty years of experience working with gang members and based on hundreds of personal interviews, many conducted in prisons and in gang neighborhoods, Yablonsky explores the pathology of the gangsters' apparent addiction to incarceration and death. Gangsters is divided into four parts, including a brief history of gangs, the characteristics of gangs, successful approaches for treating gangsters in prison and the community, and concluding with a review and analysis of notable behavioral and social scientific theories of gangs. While condemning their violent behavior in no uncertain terms, Yablonsky offers hope through his belief that, given a chance in an effective treatment program, youths trapped in violent behavior can change their lives in positive ways and, in turn, facilitate positive change in their communities and society at large.

Street gangs in the United States are typically viewed as destructive and violent by the mainstream society (Beare & Hogg, 2013; Lane & Meeker, 2003). Dominant discourses in the United States paint a limited and often negative picture of individuals participating in street gangs. Through a social constructionist lens, dominant discourses are determined by the shared interpretation of a particular notion (Gergen, 2011). My research challenges the dominant discourses of street gangs by exploring an alternate image of these individuals; namely one that celebrates their strengths. The overarching question of this research is: What are the transferable funds of knowledge acquired by street gang-involved individuals that can be utilized in alternate environments outside of a street gang context? I utilized qualitative methodology to uncover the assets acquired by individuals participating in street gang life because it provided the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning that street gang membership held. A sense of belonging is key to the development of an individual's identity through the social constructionist lens. Therefore, understanding the sense of belonging that youth attain in a gang is paramount to identifying how the street gang identity is constructed. The funds of knowledge (Moll, Amanti, Neff & Gonzalez, 1992) concept was developed to identify skills acquired by students at home that were useful in attaining success in a school classroom. In this research, the funds of knowledge are the skills that the participants have acquired within the context of street gang life that are transferable in alternate environments. Appreciative Inquiry (AI) supports a social constructionist framework because the focus is on developing a shared meaning of a concept (Barrett, et. al., 1995; Busche, 2011). One way that AI works tangibly within a research study is by generating positive energy in the environment, such as when conducting an interview with a participant, as I have done in this study. I used an AI methodological format to investigate the positive ways that street gang participation has changed their lives and uncover the funds of knowledge, acquired through these street gang experiences that were used outside of street gang life. The scope of this research was defined by 14 gang-involved individuals of Haitian ethnicity between the ages of 20 to 32 residing in Miami, FL. The sense of belonging and the funds of knowledge were both paramount in helping these individuals attain employment, higher education, and life quality gains. Specifically, a sense of belonging was important in developing an identity as a gang member and this was manifested through three primary mindsets: protection, emotional support, and family. It's important to recognize how these individuals found a sense of belonging in a gang in order to understand the parallel of acquiring belongingness outside a gang. I discovered that it was the sense of belonging that shaped their identity within a gang, but it was also the funds of knowledge accessed in an alternate context such as in a job that helped them transition successfully to participation outside of street gangs. There were six categories of the funds of knowledge that were transferable in two ways; one mode was for the individual's gain and one was for the benefit of the extended street gang community. The six transferable funds of knowledge discovered through this research study were hyperawareness, resilience, money management, networking, critical thinking/wisdom, and business savvy. Implications of this research include suggestions for offering policy changes in higher education and employment, which may reduce the stereotypes of street gangs and increase productive changes in society when opportunities are available to individuals in street gangs. The impetus for generating policy and attitude changes that will open doors is drawn from recognizing the strengths of individuals involved in street gangs.
