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.
