Gangs are multifaceted and varied, so any attempt to understand
them cannot be restricted to a singular approach. On Gangs provides
a diverse and comprehensive survey of the available theories for
understanding this social issue as well as the broad range of
responses to it. The authors look at the many influences on gangs'
operation, growth, prevention, and enforcement. The authors provide
different criminological, psychological, and sociological
approaches to gang studies, including interviews with past and
current gang members. On Gangs presents the core issues for
understanding gangs, including emerging topics like prison gangs,
gender and gangs, and international gangs. There is also a focus on
policing, legislation, and punishment. Weaving together research
and policy findings to address the causes, contexts, and
consequences of gangs, the authors address topics including
joining, resisting, and leaving gangs, and how gangs operate in
communities and institutions. An authoritative and sweeping tour of
gang scholarship, On Gangs showcases the critical evidence-based
solutions in prevention, enforcement, legislation, and
intervention. The authors seek to answer the question: How do we
effectively deal with gangs and gang membership?
