Criminal organizations an examination of gang management practices inside Canadian institutions / : Steven Michel and Yvonne Stys.: PS83-3/347E-PDF

"In Canada, gangs and criminal organizations are responsible for a variety of criminal behaviour. It is estimated that up to 900 criminal groups were operating within Canada between 2005 and 2010 and research suggests that up to 70% of offenders in some Canadian institutions are suspected of gang affiliations. As a result, Canadian society has prioritized gangs and organized crime in the Canadian public safety context".--Intro.
