Acknowledgments (Bloomington-Normal) Much thanks is due to all who helped with the National Evaluation of the Comprehensive, Community-Wide Approach to Gang Prevention, Intervention, and Suppression Program in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. The Evaluation could not have been completed without the extensive efforts and cooperation of the lead agency, Project Oz, local community and agency leaders, and the local evaluator. The burden of collaborating with the National Evaluation team was added to the challenge of developing a comprehensive program to address the youth gang problem. Project-related agency staff went to extra lengths to modify or elaborate their data systems, complete extensive program reports, and provide access to youth for interviews as well as their histories in the criminal justice system. We thank Peter Rankaitis, Director of Project Oz, Patrick Moreland, the Program Coordinator, Norman Kerr, the Senior Outreach Youth Worker, Brenda Melcher, Chairperson of the Steering Committee (Youth Impact), Gary Speers, Assistant Director, Normal Police Department, Roxanne K. Castleman, Director of Court Services, McLean County, Luther H, Dearborn, Chief Judge of the Eleventh Circuit Court, John P. Shonkman, Chief Judge of the Sixth Judicial Court, Illinois, and Captain Roger Aiken of the Bloomington Police Department. Due to all of their efforts, we now know better what needs to be done to reduce the youth gang problem. Also, very special thanks go to our key data providers: Jack McQueen, Crime Analyst, Bloomington Police Department, and Mark S. Fleisher, then Associate Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois State University, the local evaluator. Irving A.

In Canada approximately 4000 people die every year waiting for organs. Although the majority of the public are pro organ donation, there is a gap between their feelings and acting on those feelings by becoming a registered organ donor. A case study has provided insights into how an organ donation campaign achieved over 5 million registered organ donors in 6 years. Organ donation campaigns have to battle several medical myths and misconceptions surrounding their field to gain a higher population percentage registered as donors. These myths are battled with consistent efforts to properly educate the public regarding organ donation.
