Publisher's Synopsis
For the first time in history America's most notorious gangs: Bloods, Crips, Northerners, Southerners, and Nazis have united for one common purpose. Former members of these violent gangs are making a call for peace, in an attempt to deter At-Risk youth and troubled adults from gangs, violence, drugs, and criminal activities. Their warnings offer a glimpse into the harsh reality of gang life, from the streets to a prison cell. The truth is exposed and the myths are dispelled. In this unique book the authors include motivational commentary, social skill lessons, self assessments and a journal section. These are provided for promoting personal growth, self-worth, accountability and reducing gang participation. The gang prevention and awareness (GPA) lesson plan is presented with the hope of decreasing crime and fostering more positive, productive members of society.
