Less Tagging More Killing

The Author's Journey

This book starts with anecdotes from the author's 20+ years in federal law enforcement. However, the book's main message is clear: Gangs are not just a nuisance. Gangs are a major problem. Even in small cities in which membership is relatively low, the amount of time and money arresting, re-arresting,and incarcerating gang members is astonishing, and is a real drain on local police departments.

Beyond the simplistic narrative of drug trade, this gang book explores the complex economic ecosystems that gangs create in communities, which often leads to drug abuse and violence.

Recruitment and Identity
The psychological appeal of gang membership—providing identity, protection, and a sense of being wanted. Understanding these dynamics is essential for developing effective prevention programs.
