Module 8: Module Notes: Law Enforcement Responses to Gangs
Knowing about gangs and gang members is a large part of the battle, but not all of it. Knowing about the suppression, intervention, and prevention of gangs is also important.
Suppression, intervention, and prevention of gangs require more than just one agency of government. Indeed it often involves agencies that have nothing to do with the government. Some would argue that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are better at prevention than government agencies. That may be correct as many NGOs are not bound by the restraints that are so often found with government agencies.
While it is true that you cannot arrest your way out of the gang problem, it is also true that each agency (law enforcement included) has its own specialty in the fight against gangs. All too often, the goals of the agencies involved (to include education) get blurred and the end result is that there is no progress.
We need to accept that gangs are not going to go away, and once a city or community has seen the signs of gangs, it is probably too late to eliminate them. A multi-agency approach will need to be created with the understanding that all three: suppression, intervention, and prevention are viable and necessary approaches to dealing with the gang problem.
