Placed in a fictional but typical European city, a research team
responds to reports of street gang violence by adapting the widely
used research procedures developed in the Eurogang Program in a
dozen countries since 1997. The author follows the development of
the research team and its relationships with community leaders, the
press, and several different street gangs in the city. Entre to the
gangs brings research and personal problems for the staff and
reveals important differences between the gangs in crime patterns
and group structures. Comparison to American and other European
gangs builds the case for several forms of gang knowledge, while
specific incidents including violent attacks on staff members bring
to life the unique aspects of Euroburg, a city of tourism and
commercial success. The author humanizes the study of street gangs,
based on his forty-year career in gang research and control.
