Good book, but kinda outdated
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book should be on everyone's shelf that works in LE. It's information is a bit outdated, but the gangs are changing so fast that last weeks news is also outdated. For anyone just starting out and wanting gang intel...this is a great start! Stay Safe!

Good, If Slightly Outdated, Info on Gangs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Although the book is a bit outdated, it's a very good book on all manner of street gangs. And though it doesn't cover the gangs of the area I live in, the information is still valid and pretty well relevant. If you have children and want to learn what to watch out for, or if you're in a profession that deals with them, then this book is a must. Especially if you combine it with the other book by Mr Valentine.
Indispensable book for Gang investigators/officers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
If you deal with Gangs at all from the patrol to investigative fields, this is your book. Gangs are infulencing every aspect of society including the military...that's why the Navy's NCIS used this book as a reference!It is highly informative and will give you the necessary training to start you out in this field and keep you going. Of course gangs change signs, tactics and methods as they see fit so certain portions will obviously be out of date but that is inevidable.This manual should be purchased and read by patrol officers up to senior supervisors. Like that saying goes, the more you know the more you grow (and stay alive to beat the bad guys).
Very informative and enlightening!

The author of this book is a former Correctional Officer. He served as his prison's gang intelligence officer so he provides plenty of first-hand expertise. This book really goes into depth with respect to revealing the gang world. Methods of recruitment, training, and how gangs make their money in and out of prison are all covered. A very good read if you're really serious about learning and understanding the "gang life."
