Description: Reducing Youth Gang Violence : The Little Village Gang Project in Chicago, Hardcover by Spergel, Irving A., ISBN 0759109982, ISBN-13 9780759109988, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In this book, Irving Spergel details the efforts of his Chicago youth gang project, a comprehensive, community-based model designed to reduce gang problems, including violence and illegal drug activity. 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.
