This unique volume explores why and how youth join and leave gangs,
as a lens for exploring intervention and prevention through
comparative, international research. The book explores three key
questions: how do youth gangs form and how do they change over
time? Why do youth join street gangs, and why do they leave? How
can we use this knowledge to foster more effective interventions
for gang problems? Drawing from research conducted in ten different
countries (Belgium, Canada, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands,
Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States of America,
and Venezuela)and a variety of disciplines, sixteen original
chapters provide unique insights into: 1) patterns of gang
participation and how it impacts individual behavior 2) individual
transitions and their impact on gang transformations 3) fostering
gang transition and transformation. This work will be of interest
to researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice, particularly
with an interest in youth gangs, developmental and life-course
criminology, criminal careers, and criminal networks, as well as
related fields such as sociology, psychology, and comparative law,
and public health.
