Gang-Problem Communities

                                               Assignment Instructions

For this assignment, you will create a brief presentation using PowerPoint.

Find one chronic gang (do not pick a gang that was included in Module 1) and one emerging gang. Explain how each of the interventionists below would be able to intervene with each of the gangs. It is possible that one or more of the interventionists would have a difficult time with the chronic gangs. If you believe that is the case, justify why. You can click on each of the interventionists below to learn more about who they are and what they do.

• Gang police officers (Links to an external site.)

• Probation officers (Links to an external site.)

• Non-police outreach workers (Links to an external site.)

• Former gang members acting as intervention specialists (Links to an external site.)

The presentation should have one slide that gives an overview of the emerging gang, one that gives an overview of the chronic gang, and a slide for each of the interventionists that explains what they could do or could not do to try to intervene with the gangs (totaling 6 slides).
