January 1, 2015 Research and Evidence Gang-involved young people – custody and beyond a practitioner’s guide BriefingsBy Fiona Factor, John Pitts, Tim Bateman Download A significant amount of research into the onset of, and involvement in, gangs, gang crime, and serious youth violence has already been carried out.
