Online Tool Provides Strategies for Preventing Community Gang Violence


OJJDP has created an online tool that teaches communities effective
strategies to address local gang problems. The tool, provided by OJJDP
and BJA's National Gang Center, is called the Comprehensive Gang Model
Overview. It provides a 23-minute discussion of OJJDP's Model for
identifying target areas with high levels of gang activity, locating
gangs, and focusing appropriate resources on them. The tool also
describes how communities can follow proven anti-gang strategies and
how to implement the Model locally.
