| Abstract
|
:
|
"The Gang Life: Laugh Now, Cry Later examines the criminal gangster mindset and offers gang prevention strategies, using real-world examples to demonstrate a holistic approach toward combatting this surging societal problem. The text outlines the evolution of gang membership from a state of interest, to association, to hardcore "O.G." (Original Gangster) status, and explores the evolution of law enforcement's multi-pronged approach to combating criminal street gang violence, from the catch-and-release mentality of the 1970s and 1980s to today's collaboration with private organizations such as Boys & Girls Clubs."--Publisher description.
