We encourage you to take a
look at the California Attorney General's Publication "Gangs: A
Community Response." It can be
downloaded here:
"Gangs: A Community Response"
This document discusses the
history of California-based gangs, and will help you identify types of gangs
and signs of gang involvement. This booklet includes information on what you
and your community can do to prevent and decrease gang activity. It is
designed to answer key questions about why kids join gangs and the types of
gang activities in which they may be involved. It suggests actions that
concerned individuals, parents, educators, law enforcement, community
members and local government officials can take and provides additional
resource information.
