The ubiquity of the internet and social media has influenced the
lives of people across the globe, including young people involved
in street gangs and troublesome youth groups. This development
raises important questions about the causes, features, and
consequences of online gang behavior, as well as the consequences
of this new phenomenon for gang prevention and intervention. In
this edited volume, members of an international network of gang
researchers, the Eurogang Program of Research, present findings and
insights from recent academic gang studies focused on the use of
internet and social media. It focuses on online features of gangs
and the consequences of social media for the study of these groups.
The second section of the book focuses on the meaning of online
media for the prevention, monitoring and intervention of gangs, and
for gang disengagement processes. This is the first volume focused
on the role of internet and social media in the study of gangs.
Providing much needed insights into online gang processes, it will
appeal to students and researchers interested in gangs and juvenile
delinquency, and to professionals, practitioners, and policy-makers
working on preventing or reducing gang involvement and delinquent
behavior.

This volume focuses on the complex relation between offending and
the transition from school to the workplace: how employment and
education are related to breaking the law and getting in contact
with the criminal justice system. The contributors report results
from several large scale and sophisticated studies conducted in the
Netherlands that gathered rich data on employment, education and
criminal behaviour. Each of the studies focuses on a particular
period during the life course and particular risk categories. Taken
together, they contribute to our understanding of how getting out
of school, getting into a job and doing illegal things are
intertwined over the life-course, and how these relations differ
with age and gender. The background of this volume is our interest
in the often-studied relation between offending and employment, or
more generally, between offending and the transition from school to
work, including dropping out, part-time work and joblessness. The
available literature casts little doubt that employment and
education are indeed related to less crime and offending. However,
this relation is much more complex than it appears at first hand.
The volume is primarily aimed at researchers and students in the
fields of criminology, sociology and economics. However, it may
also be of use for non-academic professionals, in particular policy
makers and practitioners in the field of criminal justice,
probation/rehabilitation, and youth/schools.
