Young Thugs; Inside the Dangerous World of Canadian Street Gangs - Chettleburgh, Michael C.

As New; In this timely and provocative book, Chettleburgh, who authored Canada's first ever national study of youth gangs, answers the questions what is it about the street-gang subculture that attracts our kids and what can we do about the proliferation of gangs? He reveals what life is really like for gang members, how street gangs make money, what influence (if any) hip-hop culture has on our kids, how prisons are churning out new gang members and why girls join. Young Tugs offers parents, educators and law-enforcement professionals essential advice on how we can seep children out of gangs, and what we can do to help kids who are already in one. Anchored by rigorous research and thoughtful commentary, Young Thugs is both an intimate insiders' portrait and a touchstone guide that will act as a wake-up call for Canadians
