| Abstract | Long before international terrorists threatened our borders, local gang members terrorized community streets. Today, street gangs continue to destroy neighborhoods and keep citizens held hostage in their homes. This manual provides a step-by-step guide to gang identification, arrest, search and seizure, prosecution, and other programs that have been used successfully by criminal justice agencies nationwide. Anti-gang strategies are discussed along with the results of their implementation. This guide will better prepare every police officer and detective to deal with the modern street gang. With the authors' knowledge, departments and officers can develop better strategies to curb gang violence and the fear of street terrorists. |
