GANG PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION LINKS


The Internet serves as one of the most effective means to learn about gang activity and culture. However, gang culture can vary greatly from one city to another. We reccomend you also contact your local law enforcement agency, which has access to the most current and localized gang trends for your community.

The links here do not serve as an endorsement of the information offered at these sites, but simply as a listing of some of the information that is currently available.

















MTV has a new series "Flipped" that deals with gangs and some other related issues. Find out more at MTV.com.
