Gang Dynamics
MAJOR RISK FACTORS FOR GANG MEMBERSHIPNo one risk factor is responsible for youths joining gangs; rather, it is the accumulation of multiple risk factors across the following domains that greatly increases the risk.• Individual Risk Factors: Juvenile delinquency, drug use, and involvement in
violence (as either victim or offender).
• Family Risk Factors: Conditions that compromise parental capacity to carry out child development responsibilities, including low parent education, family poverty, low family socioeconomic status, pro-violence attitudes, and child maltreatment (abuse or neglect); lack of parental supervision (including control, monitoring, and management of family matters); living with a gang member.
• School Risk Factors: Low academic achievement and/or poorly functioning and unsafe schools.
• Peer Risk Factors: Association with aggressive peers; rejection by prosocial peers (being unpopular).
• Community Risk Factors: Access to drugs/high drug use, exposure to firearm violence, high community arrest rates, feeling unsafe in the neighborhood, neighborhood disorganization.

Gang Dynamics
WHY DO YOUTHS BECOME INVOLVED IN A GANG?• Social reasons: Youth join to be around friends and family members
(especially siblings or cousins) already part of the gang.
• Protection: Youth join for the presumed safety they believe the gang can afford.
• Also reported by youth, albeit far less frequently, are more instrumental reasons for joining a gang, such as drug selling or making money.
• Most youth reported being in a gang for one year or less, but field studies in Chicago and Los Angeles, where some gangs are intergenerational, provide some evidence of more long-term patterns of gang membership among youth.

ROLE PROFILE AGENDA/HOPE TO ACHIEVE
Clinician• Surgical resident at county hospital• Frustrated with the number of gunshot victims who return to the trauma bay
with repeat injuries
Communicate your hopes:• Stakeholders will begin to think of violence-related injuries the way people think of chronic
illness: preventable and manageable• They will be inspired to get involved and fully participate in collaborating on sustainable
plans to reduce gang violence and its related traumatic injuries• Action steps will be developed to sustain the momentum and lead to positive change
Public Health Representative
• Convener of the meeting• Director of the county department of public health• Responsible for all public health functions including surveillance and disease control
Express these points about violence:• It is a leading cause of injury, disability and premature death• It increases the risk of other poor health outcomes• It is a signi�cant health disparity, disproportionately a�ecting young people and people of color
Former Gang Member
• Recently released from prison after serving a 10-year sentence for armed robbery• Newfound Christian faith is driving a desire to help others avoid gang life
• Eager to help transform the lives of young people who believe they have no life-a�rming options.
City Council Member
• Business owner (printing/graphics)• City councilman for four years• Mayoral candidate in the upcoming election, with a public safety platform
• Increase support base for the election• Continue learning about gang violence issues
Police O�cer• Patrol o�cer in a hotbed of gang activity for �ve years• Part of new gang suppression unit at the police force• Gulf War veteran
Communicate your perspective:• The community deserves to feel safe and secure and needs to be protected• Perpetrators who “do the crime should do the time”• There simply are no excuses for what gang bangers do for the sake of “honor” and “respect”
School Counselor
• Counselor at a high school in an impoverished neighborhood for eight years• Recently completed a master’s degree in social work, with a focus on urban
family practice• Board member of A Bridge to a Better Future (a.k.a. “Bridge”)
• Make meaningful connections in the community to further the mission of Bridge
Hospital Administrator
• Administrator at the County Hospital for the last 15 years, handling long-term planning, managing the budget, and supervising the delivery of medical services, including the Level I trauma center.
• Stay in the loop on this issue and make sure any ideas put forth that involve the hospital are �scally prudent
• Keep an eye on Janet, making sure her public activities continue to highlight her as a responsible representative of the hospital.

Police O�cer• Personal skepticism that the problem can be solved• Increasing negative perceptions of police o�cers in the
community

• Unemployment rate: 10.6%
• Homicides are on the rise, with 38 in 2001, 45 in 2003, 58 in 2007, and 60 in 2013.
• Trauma care:– County hospital, the only Level I trauma center in
the city, treated 87% of the �rearm victims– Olympus Medical Center is a new private hospital

of non-fatal violent injury, primarily involving assaults, resulting in hospitalization.

Wraparound Project Strategies
The San Francisco Wraparound Project employs culturally competent case managers who see victims of interpersonal/youth violence from 10-30 years of age while they are recovering from physical injury. They make an assessment and enroll patients they deem high risk for repeat injury and/or incarceration, based on the presence or absence of risk factors.
The following is a list of services and risk-reduction resources provided through the Wraparound Project:
• Crisis response services along with the City’s Crisis Response Network and crisis home visits• Vocational training programs via Goodwill, Glide, trucking academies, Friends of the Urban Forest, and
Job Core Employment opportunities throughout the region• Tattoo removal services• After-school programs – Department of Parks and Recreation• Mental health services for victim and family• Cognitive behavioral therapy through the Trauma Recovery Center• Completion of education and improved performance through school advocacy and placement, and
referrals to the city’s General Education Degree resources• Assistance in obtaining a driver’s license, temporary disability and victim services
