Abstract

"Matthew has grown up in hell. His father is gone, and his mother drinks and hooks up with men--men who abuse Matthew and his sister, until he finally decides to hit the streets of Farmington to get away from this--and to drink himself to death, in the way that he feels he's destined to. But something happens. A man, Chris, saves him. Takes him home and cleans him up. Gets him sober. And initiates Matthew into one of Albuquerque's Native American gangs, the 505s. The 505s have been around for generations. Now, they sell heroin--and it's their subservience to the Mexican gangs that has allowed them to survive. It's the only family Matthew has ever really known, and everything is moving along until Chris decides that his little Native American gang deserves to be as big as the Mexican gangs in Albuquerque, bringing in new business from deep inside Indigenous communities in Mexico--and Matthew falls in love with his girlfriend. Matthew's story in You Who Enter Here is one of terrible darkness, but also, unexpected beauty and tenderness"--

Abstract

The effects of gang violence are witnessed every day on the streets, in the news, and on the movie screen. In all these forums, gangs of young adults are associated with drugs and violence. Yet what is it that prompts young people to participate in violent behavior? And what can be done to extract adolescents from the gangster world of crime, death, and incarceration once they have become involved? In Gangsters: 50 Years of Madness, Drugs, and Death on the Streets of America, Lewis Yablonsky provides answers to the most baffling and crucial questions regarding gangs. Using information gathered from over forty years of experience working with gang members and based on hundreds of personal interviews, many conducted in prisons and in gang neighborhoods, Yablonsky explores the pathology of the gangsters' apparent addiction to incarceration and death. Gangsters is divided into four parts, including a brief history of gangs, the characteristics of gangs, successful approaches for treating gangsters in prison and the community, and concluding with a review and analysis of notable behavioral and social scientific theories of gangs. While condemning their violent behavior in no uncertain terms, Yablonsky offers hope through his belief that, given a chance in an effective treatment program, youths trapped in violent behavior can change their lives in positive ways and, in turn, facilitate positive change in their communities and society at large.

Abstract

The present volume represents the first published book on gangs in the Caribbean. The study of criminal gangs is both timely and of the utmost importance to policy and security in the region.

The Caribbean region experienced a dramatic increase in murder rates from 14.3 murders per 100,000 inhabitants in 2000 to 28.1 murders per 100,000 inhabitants in 2010.
