Their findings from the Eurogang Research Program highlight the impact of immigration and ethnicity, urbanization, national influences, and local neighborhood circumstances on gang development in several European countries. It is an important resource on crime, delinquency and youth development for criminologists, sociologists, youth workers, policy makers, local governments, and law enforcement professionals.

Great book about a growing problem July 12, 2007
Scott hits it on the head. The part about Italian street gangs is especially telling --- they are similar to Los Angeles gangs of the 1940's. The gang problem that Europe (especially those of Glasgow, Scotland, Genoa, Italy, and Paris, France) is seeing now is in its infancy --- but it will mirror the problems in the United States, especially Los Angeles. For those European law enforcement interested in how Los Angeles has dealt with its problem, check out "Gangs of Los Angeles".
