Pritchard Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Evaluating End Gang Life: A Provincial Anti-Gang Initiative Examining Committee: Chair: Robert Ley Associate Professor Kevin Douglas Senior Supervisor Professor Jodi Viljoen Supervisor Associate Professor Nathalie Gagnon Supervisor Faculty Member Department of Criminology Kwantlen Polytechnic University Martin Bouchard Internal Examiner Professor School of Criminology Irwin Cohen External Examiner Associate Professor School of Criminology and Criminal Justice University of the Fraser Valley Date Defended/Approved: April 12, 2019 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract End Gang Life is a provincial anti-gang initiative developed by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit – British Columbia (CFSEU-BC). Goals of the initiative include promoting gang awareness, education, and prevention, including disseminating information via public service announcements (PSAs) and presentations in the community. This evaluation examined study participants’ reactions to PSAs and seminars presented by the End Gang Life initiative in three studies. In the Undergraduate Study, participants were exposed to one of 15 PSAs (six videos, six posters, three radio ads) and then completed self-report questionnaires. The questionnaires addressed participants’ opinions about the PSA and participants’ level of antisociality as measured by self-reported offending and psychopathic features. This sample consisted of undergraduate students from Simon Fraser University who completed the study online. The Community Study used a similar design, but was conducted with participants that were recruited from the community. In the High School Study, the sample consisted of high school students in British Columbia. Students completed paper self-report measures following a presentation by the CFSEU-BC. Results showed that undergraduate students and community members were more likely to perceive the PSAs as effective when negative emotions (e.g., sadness) were elicited, the content was perceived to be realistic, and greater sensations were perceived. Generally, these results were seen regardless of the degree of participants’ psychopathic traits, suggesting that PSAs may be of comparable effectiveness regardless of the presence of such traits. Of the three groups, the high school students reported the highest perceived sensations in response to the End Gang Life seminars. Further, the high school students were receptive to the seminars. Findings of this evaluation will help improve the existing initiative and will inform future anti-gang initiatives.

Given the tangible threat that Teixeira posed to the public, and the complexity of this fugitive investigation, IHIT and CFSEU-BC partnered with the Bolo Program, a Canadian public safety initiative encouraging citizens to be on the lookout for Canada’s most wanted suspects. In close cooperation with IHIT and CFSEU-BC investigators, the Bolo Program conducted an amplification campaign of the Teixeira wanted notice which generated millions of media, billboard and Facebook impressions, as well as over 100 tips. In cooperation with Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers, the Bolo Program also offered a reward up to CAD $50,000 for any information leading to the arrest of the suspect.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND [1] This is an application by James Bacon for an order prohibiting the publication of certain trial evidence in these proceedings. [2] The accused are charged with conspiracy to murder and first degree murder in relation to the October 19, 2007 shooting deaths of the “Surrey Six”. Their trial by judge alone commenced on September 30, 2013. Mr. Bacon faces the same charges in relation to the same conspiracy but on a separate indictment. A date for his trial by judge and jury has yet to be set. It is not disputed that the evidence to be heard at the two trials is intertwined. [3] Part of the Crown’s case on the Haevischer trial comprises a body of discreditable conduct evidence that was earlier ruled admissible.

  • Crime and Networks Edited by Carlo Morselli
    Crime and Networks Edited by Carlo Morselli CONTENTS Preface Introduction Carlo Morselli PART I: CO-OFFENDING NETWORKS Chapter 1: The Importance of Studying Co-offending Networks for Criminological Theory and Policy Jean Marie McGloin and Holly Nguyen Though the group nature of much crime and delinquency has been well documented for decades, there is relatively scant research on co-offending networks. This chapter argues that attending to the ways in which co-offending networks shape and affect criminal behavior, as well as how individual and situational attributes shape the tendency to join such networks and adopt certain roles within them, has broad and important implications for criminology and criminal justice. Chapter 2: Sex and Age Homophily in Co-offending Networks: Opportunity or Preference? Sarah B. van Mastrigt and Peter J. Carrington Homophily, the tendency for individuals to associate with similar others, has been demonstrated across a wide range of social relational forms, including co-offending. One of the most widely cited ‘facts’ about group crime is that it is typically carried out in homogeneous groups, particularly with respect to age and sex. The findings in this chapter provide evidence for inbreeding homophily and indicate that the bias for offending with similar others is most pronounced amongst males and youths in co-offending networks. Chapter 3: The Evolution of a Drug Co-arrest Network Natalia Iwanski and Richard Frank i This chapter analyzes the evolution of a co-arrest network of drug offenders to examine how groups of offenders change over time. Using five years of real crime data, a social network is created with offenders who were arrested by police for drug-related crimes and analyzed over monthly time intervals to understand its growth.

  • Vancouver Gang Article
    Vancouver Gang Violence: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS DR. KEIRON MCCONNELL KWANTLEN POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY 2 2 VANCOUVER GANG VIOLENCE: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS AUTHOR Dr. Keiron McConnell ABSTRACT This article provides a historical description of key gangs and relevant events in BC, focusing on Vancouver, from 1909 to 2012 with a focus on the main incidents and themes of violence. A primary goal of this article is to dismiss the delusion that we are a more violent society today than ever before and face the harsh reality that violence and gangs in Vancouver are not new, nor are they a product of this new generation. While this nostalgic view of the past may be pleasing to our memories, an examination of newspapers and historical police documents suggests that violence in BC has been relatively constant for more than a century. From 1909 to 2012, gangs were consistently violent: there were murders, shootings, and gang fights. Innocent bystanders were shot, maimed, injured, and killed. Policymakers can’t blame the new generation, media, police, video games, or rap music – it has always been a part of our social fabric. This recognition is important to our current understanding of the gang landscape in Vancouver and our responses to these violent affronts to our society.

  • The Social Network Consequences of a Gang Murder Blowout
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article The Social Network Consequences of a Gang Murder Blowout Alice Airola and Martin Bouchard * School of Criminology, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 28 September 2020; Accepted: 7 November 2020; Published: 11 November 2020 Abstract: An unexpected crisis in a criminal organization offers a rare opportunity to analyze whether and how the configuration of business and trust relationships changes in response to external shocks. The current study recreates the social network of the Red Scorpion gang members involved in the Surrey Six Murder, one of the deadliest gang-related homicides to occur in Canada. The event, which involved two bystanders and six victims in total, was the result of a poorly executed retaliation. Our analyses focus on two phases of the network, the conspiracy phase and the post-murder phase. In each phase, we examine the balance of business, trust, and conflictual ties. Results show that the relative importance of key participants changed from the conspiracy to the post-murder phases, whereby strong, trusted ties gained prominence over the mostly business-oriented network of the conspiracy phase. Keywords: gangs; social networks; crisis; organized crime; homicide; violence; retaliation 1. Introduction Crime network scholars have sought to describe the inner workings of gangs and criminal organizations for long enough, now, that we have a general understanding of their structure, especially as it relates to specific activities such as drug trafficking (e.g., Bichler et al. 2017; Bright and Delaney 2013; Calderoni 2012; Malm et al. 2017; Malm and Bichler 2011; Morselli 2009; Natarajan 2006) and human smuggling (Bruinsma and Bernasco 2004; Campana 2020).
