Gangs in Canada – Jeff Pearce

Gangs in Canada – Jeff Pearce

In “Gangs in Canada,” Jeff Pearce draws a portrait of a crime wave spreading across the country and infecting our youth. He shows how police, ex-gang members and organizations are reclaiming our young people and showing them ways out of a violent, doomed lifestyle. This is the most gripping, up-to-date chronicle of what is happening on our streets. … “Gangs in Canada” goes beyond the headlines and news clips. It picks up the discussion over causes, history, and media influences, and shakes out fresh new perspectives on strategies for intervention.
