Focusing on issues related to gangs, schools, and communities, this periodical discusses the role of educators in empowering parents to reduce the likelihood that their children will join gangs and to motivate their chldren to leave gangs they have joined.
Abstract
Other articles focus on the importance of teaching students desirable conflict resolution attitudes and skills, ways in which school and classroom activities can be structured to better help students whose needs are met by delinquent youth gangs, and the development of professional school security and deviancy prevention programs in schools. An editorial notes that some communities are more successful than others in dealing with gangs and that it is important to examine the options they have used. A May 1993 conference will focus on these issues and enhancing awareness of viable options. Conference agenda, mission statement of the safe schools coalition, and reference list for one article
