Other lists provide contacts for all known local anti-gang efforts in each county; regional node coordinators and other key contacts for the Gang Reporting, Evaluation, and Tracking System; individuals known to conduct academic research on gangs; and regional contacts for graffiti information. Also described are resources provided by the National School Safety Center, which serves as a national clearinghouse for school safety programs and activities related to campus security; school law; community relations; student discipline and attendance; and the prevention of drug abuse, gangs, and bullying.
