Exploring Gang Violence Prevention Strategies
Tuesday — 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm
Magic Kingdom Room 3
The problem of gang violence permeates many California communities at a significant societal cost – for the gang members, their families and the public at large. This workshop will focus on community intervention and prevention strategies, including examples of county efforts to address this problem – particularly those that seek to prevent involvement of at-risk youth in the gang culture.
