Gangs in America's Communities
This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, and theoretically-grounded approach to gangs and youth violence. It covers significant topics of interest to gang scholars and practitioners and, in doing so, serves to prepare students to work with gang members, develop and manage anti-gang programs, or engage in scholarly endeavors. The book introduces readers to the foundations of gang studies through the origins of gangs, definitions and categories of youth/street gangs (and the distinctions between these arguably different types), national and international trends, distinguishing features of serious street gangs, what works with gangs and what doesn’t, and myths and realities. James Howell’s extensive experience in this area allows access to the most authoritative national survey data on gang trends, providing insight into topics such as female gangs, migration of gang members, small-town gangs versus the major adult gangs in large cities, gang homicides and drug trafficking.
Crime Analysis With Crime Mapping
In this text, Santos (criminal justice, Florida Atlantic U.) covers theories, practice, data, and analysis techniques associated with crime mapping and crime analysis. The first two parts of the text describe the field's theoretical foundations and detail the crime analysis process. Part 3 describes the data, techniques, and products of tactical crime analysis, and part 4 explains techniques used in analyzing long-term crime and disorder problems, offering case examples. Part 5 considers administrative crime analysis. Revised to reflect current research and methods, this third edition provides a new typology that categorizes crime analysis results by the type of problem examined, the purpose of the analysis, and the type of audience for which the results are produced. Also new are profiles of professionals. The text is illustrated with b&w and two-color charts, maps, and aerial photos. The student website provides police reports, links to journal articles, and a link to ATAC software, which allows students to conduct crime analysis themselves. The instructor website offers tests, slides, syllabi, and assignments. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
