Explain the elements of Spergel's Community Gang Control Program
What will be an ideal response?
• Community mobilization, including citizens, youth, community groups, and agencies.
• Provision of academic, economic, and social opportunities. Special school training and job programs are especially critical for older gang members who are not in school but may be ready to leave the gang or decrease participation in criminal gang activity for many reasons, including maturation and the need to provide for family.
• Social intervention, using street outreach workers to engage gang-involved youth.
• Gang suppression, including formal and informal social control procedures of the juvenile and criminal justice systems and community agencies and groups. Community- based agencies and local groups must collaborate with juvenile and criminal justice agencies in the surveillance and sharing of information under conditions that protect the community and the civil liberties of youths.
• Organizational change and development—that is, the appropriate organization and integration of the preceding strategies and potential reallocation of resources.
