About this brochure
Children in the early adolescent years are in a vulnerable period and could be likely to join a gang. There are many identified risk factors for gang involvement, including school difficulties, lack of parental supervision, alcohol/drug use, truancy, and peer influence. Experts agree that parents can play an important role in keeping children out of gangs. This 2-page brochure is available in several languages. It provides information to help parents recognize gang involvement, and recommended interventions.
