This book aims to challenge current thinking about serious youth
violence and gangs, and their racialisation by the media and the
police. Written by an expert with over 14 years' experience in the
field, it brings together research, theory and practice to
influence policy. Placing gangs and urban violence in a broader
social and political economic context, it argues that
government-led policy and associated funding for anti-gangs work is
counter-productive. It highlights how the street gang label is
unfairly linked by both the news-media and police to black (and
urban) youth street-based lifestyles/cultures and friendship
groups, leading to the further criminalisation of innocent black
youth via police targeting. The book is primarily aimed at
practitioners, policy makers, academics as well as those
community-minded individuals concerned about youth violence and
social justice.
