Review:
For most of us, gangs are something we read about but for those close, whether gang members or affected by their activities, this is an insightful read. Is it ever worth joining a gang? Do they provide protection or bring trouble to a neighbourhood? This book looks at gang culture, asks what gangs are trying to achieve, and shows how they treat their members and the wider community. Another topical issue, sensitively handled and in a way that will generate discussion. This series looks at the experiences of young people and provides advice on coping with difficult and emotive situations. Relationships (Teen Issues) and Bullying (Teen Issues)are other titles in the series. --Parents in Touch website Nov 12
