Results for young gangs
1 results foundAuthor: Jensen, Elise Title: Community Perceptions of Youth Gang Activity: Results from Four Tribal Sites Summary: his study sought to document the nature and extent of youth gang involvement in Indian Country. Through interviews at four tribal sites, we identified three primary themes: the prevalence and characteristics of youth gangs; the prevention, intervention, and suppression strategies developed by tribes to counter them; and more general problems faced by tribal youth - such as substance use and suicidality - that may be more pressing to address than concerns over gang activity. Indeed, the study's findings suggest that previous accounts of gang activity among tribal youth may have been overstated. The report concludes with a set of recommendations for funders and those looking to conduct research in tribal settings. Details: New York: Center for Court Innovation, 2017. 63p.
