Youth gangs on youth gangs : executive summary / Frederick Mathews.: JS4-1/1993-24-1E-PDF

"Youth Gangs on Youth Gangs was undertaken to provide young people with an opportunity to add their voices to the discourse on the phenomenon of youth gangs/groups and youth violence. The study focuses on a range of youth gangs/groups whose common characteristic is involvement in illegal activities. The intention of this report is to stimulate and broaden discussion of the issues that will likely have an impact on problem definition and the development of a comprehensive response strategy. It is intended to be primarily descriptive and is written for a wide readership. Categories and subheadings used to report the data are based on themes which emerged - from participants' responses to questions on the interview guides. There were no remarkable disagreements in point of view between adult and youth participants in the study. Because of the small sample size, findings in the study should be considered exploratory and tentative, a modest beginning to understanding, and not an exhaustive analysis of the phenomenon."--Introd.
