Institute for Youth, Education and Families

resource thumbnail

The YEF Institute has published a new toolkit on Preventing Gang Violence and Building Communities Where Young People Thrive. The toolkit draws upon lessons learned over the past three years from the California Cities Gang Prevention Network, a 13-city network formed to identify strategies for reducing gang violence and victimization. The kit highlights a wide range of city practices and contains eight chapters divided into three sections: marshalling resources to fund anti-gang strategies; strategic partnerships within the criminal justice system, and with county agencies, schools, neighborhoods, and the faith community; and targeted approaches, including street-level outreach and facilitating reentry from detention facilities.
