Designed to help California schools and communities develop, establish, or maintain antigang programs in their communities, this is a statewide resource directory of agencies providing antigang programs.
Abstract
The directory is composed of brief profiles of over 500 California agencies providing youth antigang programs. The profiles are based on agency responses to the Attorney General's Youth Anti-Gang Program Survey. The directory is organized alphabetically by county. Within each county, program profiles are listed in alphabetical order under one of three categories: education, community agencies, and criminal justice. Schools and school districts are listed under education; community-based agencies and local governmental agencies other than criminal justice are under community agencies; and police departments, sheriffs, district attorneys, and probation departments are listed under criminal justice. Following the local agency profiles is a list of State/Federal agencies and organizations. Also included are a description on developing the survey and findings, the Statewide Survey of Youth Anti-Gang Programs questionnaire, and preliminary findings from the 1993-94 California Student Substance Use Survey. A city-county index and an alphabetical agency index
