This edited book significantly contributes to the knowledge on how
to address gang problems from a broad community perspective, which
takes into account criminal justice agencies, social service
providers, and community leaders, along with police, who have
implemented collaborative anti-gang policies and practices. As
community-wide efforts become more common, it is increasingly
important to investigate effective strategies to address social
problems. Beyond Suppression: Community Strategies to Reduce Gang
Violence explores a demonstration project of one state's efforts to
reduce gang and youth violence through use of a comprehensive
initiative, the Comprehensive Gang Model (CGM). The relevance of
the CGM as a conceptual framework to guide gang policy and practice
is illustrated throughout the book, and tailored gang reduction
strategies derived from that framework and rooted in the ecological
constitution of communities are showcased. The chapters highlight
implementation strategies employed by various communities using a
case study methodology that assists in garnering an in-depth
perspective of implementation issues and key dimensions of the CGM.
This book answers important questions about how communities
operationalize the CGM. The results of these investigations are
important for scholars, learners, and practitioners who seek to
address gang violence using a customized response.
