Getting to this stage has not been an easy task. I have had to overcome tremendous hurdles to get to this point. Initially, I had no plans on going back to school when I completed my bachelors because I was convinced that my bachelor’s degree would be all I would need to pursue a career in law enforcement. Through trial and error though, I realized that the law enforcement avenue was not my calling and the desire I once had to pursue such career path was no longer there. As time progressed and while I began to figure out what my next steps were, I realized that one thing was still evident: my desire to help others overcome adversities. My education and personal experiences have helped me to understand how the system has been working against people of color and disadvantages. As an African American, I have been blessed to live a privileged life which includes having both parents in the picture, having access to great schools, violence-free neighborhoods, a disciplined upbringing, and strong support system that have played a major role towards where I am today. It was not until during college that I realized that the world is not fair. I have come across some people with great hearts who have faced circumstances that shaped their criminal thinking and did not have very many people in their corner to direct them in the right path. I want to thank God for blessing me unconditionally. My family and close friends for being my backbone, for encouraging and uplifting me when things were difficult and I felt like giving up. I want to thank my previous employer, Professional Services Group for providing me the opportunity to be a youth worker. It was at that point that I realized my calling. I want to thank Jake Leigh, James Place Obama School coordinator, for allowing me to volunteer and mentor 5 disadvantage high schoolers dealing with trauma. I want to thank Dereck Wolfgram for providing me with such an amazing internship opportunity. My dad and Uncle Theo for not only allowing me to come to their office to work on homework but to use their printer to print my research articles (sorry I used so much paper). My supervisor, Tim Trbovich, for allowing me to do my homework while at work even though I was supposed to be looking at the cameras and greeting the visitors as they entered our facility. Lastly, I want to thank my professors for guiding me throughout my graduate career and assisting me whenever I needed help. Thank you everybody! 6 Abstract Gang activity is one of the most contributing factors to juvenile delinquency among youth. The problem is that little to no research has been done on the effective program features and their influence on prevention or discouraging youth from joining gangs. Street gangs have been around America since the late 1700s when immigrants began migrating to America. Gangs emerged as a result of the social disorganization and turmoil that evolved overtime. In the late 20th century, juveniles were becoming more involved in the gang lifestyle while the older individuals left to assimilate to the social norms of society. Other factors that influenced these individuals to leave were changes in life events such as employment, marriage, and/or children. There are individual, family, peer, school, and community factors that influence gang membership. Weakness in one or many of these factors increase the likelihood of gang membership. While prison for gang members is a reactive approach to reducing gang violence but causes taxpayers money, therapy and other intervention methods are a proactive approach to steer youth away from gangs. Intervention programs have developed to assist at-risk/gang involved youth and their families in turning their lives around and minimizing their criminal thinking. The OJJDP gang model has suggested that to be effective, programs would need to address the problem, develop and effective organizational plan, develop a mobilization strategy, create goals and objectives for services and organization, implement rationales for services, engage community participation, hold youth accountable, and hire and train the right staff with knowledge of the problem. 7 Chapter 1: Introduction Statement of the Problem The word gang has a variety of definitions with the intent of defining an organization of three or more people who claim a group identity. This common definition alone does not necessarily refer to a criminal or street gang. In fact, it can refer to a boy scout group, student organization, or a sports team because they too are an organization of three or more people who claim a group identity. Wisconsin Statute § 939.22(9) defines criminal street gangs as: “an ongoing organization, association or group of 3 or more persons, whether formal or informal, that has as one of its primary activities the commission of one or more of the criminal acts, or acts that would be criminal if the actor were an adult…that has a common name (ie. Vice Lords) or a common identifying sign or symbol” (Wisconsin Legislature, n.d.) Bates and Swan (2014) define gangs as an “organization of the street composed of either 1.) the socially excluded or 2.) alienated, demoralized, or bigoted elements of a dominant racial, ethnic, or religious group” (p. 230). Lastly, NCJRS (n.d.) defines gangs as groups of three or more individuals engaging in criminal activity. For the purpose of this research, we look to explore the definition of gangs as an organization of three or more people who claim a group identity whose intent is to commit criminal activity. According to Lenzi et al. (2015), gang membership among youth is a widespread issue that is receiving more attention. Between 2002 to 2010, the United States saw nearly a 35% increase of youth gangs (Simon, Ritter, and Mahendra, 2013). Gang violence has also become a widespread issue since the mid- 20th century. All 50 states including District of Columbia have made reports of gang problems (Howell, 2010). There are around 30,000 gangs in the United 8 States today with approximately 800,000 members (Gottfredson et al., 2018). The National Gang Center (n.d.) reports that there are more Hispanic, Black, and male gangs than any other race or gender. Gang affiliation is not something youth leave behind when they enter school grounds. Behaviors, attitudes, and conflicts tend to follow youth when they enter the school environment as well (National Gang Center, 2019). Gang membership affects school involvement and educational attainment and is an issue for youth between the ages of 12 and 24 (NIJ, 2011). Estrada, Gilreath, Astor & Benbenishty (2016) found that schools are one of the important places to implement gang prevention and intervention strategies. Lenzi et al. (2015), suggests that youth are more likely to join gangs when influenced by delinquent peers and for protection because they feel the school environment is unsafe. Youth males are more susceptible to gang membership in pursuit to find a sense of belonging. The obstacles that those who live in urban areas face are what influence gang involvement. Ice-T, a former gang member turned successful actor, talks about how certain circumstances lead youth to get in trouble. He explains that when a child has no hope, they have nothing to lose and it is easy to make bad decisions (Ice-T., 2015). Depending on where the youth is from, these bad decisions can range anywhere from a minor theft to auto theft to intentional homicide. It is important and concerning that youth in gang are more likely to commit more crimes than non-gang members. This notion can be supported with the ideology that broken youth will do any and everything to feel a sense of belonging. Hill, Lui, and Hawkins (2001) suggest that it is important to understand what factors predict gang membership in order to prevent youth from joining gangs. Such factors can be found within neighborhood, family, school, individual, and peer group domain levels. 9 Purpose of the Study Gangs in schools often cause an issue with threats, youth recruiting, and criminal activities (National Gang Center, 2019). According to NIJ (2019), gang members engage in more serious and violent crimes than non-gang members. The United States Department of Justice (n.d.) explains that gang violence has risen drastically in larger cities and youth gangs continue to become more violent. Organizations have taken steps to create programs to prevent, intervene, and reduce the impact of gang involvement.

  • William Poole - the Real "Bill the Butcher"
    William Poole - The Real "Bill The Butcher" William Poole was a Nativist enforcer of The Native American Party, also known as The Know Nothing Party, which was a faction of the American Republican Party. The Know Nothing was a movement created by Nativists whom believed that the overwhelming immigration of German and Irish Catholic immigrants were a threat to republican values and controlled by the Pope in Rome. They were dubbed the Know Nothings by outsiders of their semi-secret organization. This had nothing to do with them knowing anything. It had to do with their reply when asked of the organization's activities, often stating, "I know nothing." Bill the Butcher was a leader of The Bowery Boys and known for his skills as being a good bare knuckle boxer. Poole's trade was that of a butcher, and was infuriated when many butchering licenses were being handed out to Irish immigrants. William Poole was born in Sussex County, New Jersey to parents of English protestant descent. His family moved to New York City in 1832 to open a butcher shop in Washington Market, Manhattan. Bill Poole trained in his father's trade and eventually took over the family store. In the 1840s, he worked with the Howard (Red Rover) Volunteer Fire Engine Company #34, Hudson & Christopher Street. Uunlike in the movie, William "The Butcher" Poole was shot in real life. However, he was shot at Stanwix Hall, a bar on Broadway near Prince. William Poole did not die in a glorious street battle against his Irish enemies. Instead, he died from the gun wound at his home on Christopher Street.

  • Youth Gangs: Legislative Issues in the 109Th Congress
    Order Code RL33400 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Youth Gangs: Legislative Issues in the 109th Congress April 21, 2006 Celinda Franco Specialist in Social Legislation Domestic Social Policy Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Youth Gangs: Legislative Issues in the 109th Congress Summary Gang activity and related violence threaten public order in a diverse range of communities in the United States today. Congress has long recognized that this problem affects a number of issues of federal concern, and federal legislation has been introduced in the 109th Congress to address the subject. Youth gangs have been an endemic feature of American urban life. They are well attested as early as the 18th century and have been a recurrent subject of concern since then. Contemporary views of the problem have been formed against the background of a significant adverse secular trend in gang activity during the last four decades. In particular, the rapid growth of gang membership, geographical dispersion, and criminal involvement during the violent crime epidemic — associated with the emergence of the crack cocaine market during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s — have intensified current concerns. The experience of those years continues to mark both patterns of gang activity and public policy responses toward them. Reports about the increased activity and recent migration of a violent California- based gang, the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), have heightened concerns about gangs in certain areas of the country. Policy development and implementation in this area are bedeviled by discrepant uses of the term “gang” and the absence of uniform standards of statistical reporting.

  • Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture James
    The Communal Legitimacy of Collective Violence: Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture by James Peter Phelan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©James Phelan, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the influences that New York City‘s Irish-Americans had on the violence, politics, and underground subcultures of the antebellum era. During the Great Famine era of the Irish Diaspora, Irish-Americans in Five Points, New York City, formed strong community bonds, traditions, and a spirit of resistance as an amalgamation of rural Irish and urban American influences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants and their descendants combined community traditions with concepts of American individualism and upward mobility to become an important part of the antebellum era‘s ―Shirtless Democracy‖ movement. The proto-gang political clubs formed during this era became so powerful that by the late 1850s, clashes with Know Nothing and Republican forces, particularly over New York‘s Police force, resulted in extreme outbursts of violence in June and July, 1857. By tracking the Five Points Irish from famine to riot, this thesis as whole illuminates how communal violence and the riots of 1857 may be understood, moralised, and even legitimised given the community and culture unique to Five Points in the antebellum era. iii Table of Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................................

    Chapter 1 The Emergence of Gangs in the United States— Then and Now CHAPTER OBJECTIVES î Examine the emergence of gangs in the United States. î Explore where gangs from New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles first emerged. î Identify the differences and similarities between each regions growth of gangs. î Examine the emergence of Black and Hispanic/Latino gangs. î Describe the newest gang trends throughout the United States. “The Cat’s Alleys,” the Degraw Street Gang, the Sackett Street gang, “The Harrisons,” the Bush Street Gang, and 21 other boys’ gangs were the subjects of a report of the New York State Crime Commission which told, last week, of its findings in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn. The boys who comprise the gangs have to undergo rigorous initiations before being qualified for membership. In one of the more exclusive gangs initiates, usually aged about nine, have to drink twelve glasses of dago-red wine and have a revolver pressed into their temples while they take the pledge.

  • History of Gangs in the United States
    1 ❖ History of Gangs in the United States Introduction A widely respected chronicler of British crime, Luke Pike (1873), reported the first active gangs in Western civilization. While Pike documented the existence of gangs of highway robbers in England during the 17th century, it does not appear that these gangs had the features of modern-day, serious street gangs. Later in the 1600s, London was “terrorized by a series of organized gangs calling themselves the Mims, Hectors, Bugles, Dead Boys [and they] fought pitched battles among themselves dressed with colored ribbons to distinguish the different factions” (Pearson, 1983, p. 188). According to Sante (1991), the history of street gangs in the United States began with their emer- gence on the East Coast around 1783, as the American Revolution ended. These gangs emerged in rapidly growing eastern U.S. cities, out of the conditions created in large part by multiple waves of large-scale immigration and urban overcrowding. This chapter examines the emergence of gang activity in four major U.S. regions, as classified by the U.S. Census Bureau: the Northeast, Midwest, West, and South. The purpose of this regional focus is to develop a better understanding of the origins of gang activity and to examine regional migration and cultural influences on gangs themselves. Unlike the South, in the Northeast, Midwest, and West regions, major phases characterize gang emergence. Table 1.1 displays these phases. 1 2 ❖ GANGS IN AMERICA’S COMMUNITIES Table 1.1 Key Timelines in U.S. Street Gang History Northeast Region (mainly New York City) First period: 1783–1850s · The first ganglike groups emerged immediately after the American Revolution ended, in 1783, among the White European immigrants (mainly English, Germans, and Irish).
