On this site I will neither glorify or promote street gangs. I will report on gang activity across the world. This site is geared towards the gathering of knowledge about the many gangs across America and the world . I will explore all aspects of the gang lifestyle from the media and the gang members themselves. I will post the who,what,where and why to satisfy the overwhelming fascination with the Street Gang Life.
I am trying to find a support group for ex- gang members. My daughter is 14 and currently at a residential treatment facility for drug abuse, behavior, gang affiliation. She is coming home this May and her biggest fear is the gang she was in here in Glendale, Az. I can not find help.
Thank you for your time.

You will not be able to eradicate Gangs only the Violent aspect of GAngs
Gangology 101 is no longer simply a curriculum; it is now a learning system for both the student and the facilitator.
Gangology 101 now further explains the new paradigm needed to effectively address the gang violence, which is destroying our communities and our youth. It provides a view of gangs both psychologically and now, also sociologically, providing a view of gangs in the context of culture. It provides a more comprehensive look at the phases of development of the gang member from childhood to adolescence, and the shared perceptions and experiences which provide the need for gang membership and involvement.
Next it examines numerous aspects of the gang mentality; those unique to the gang banger which previously have been inadequately understood and explained. It provides more expansive instruction to facilitators and finally, it provides more detailed information on the potential reformation of the gang member and the steps way, “from the inside out”®.
The cornerstones of this enhanced learning system are the gang violence prevention and intervention curriculum “Gangology 101″ and the companion text “Original Diamond Boy: Psychology of a Gang Banger” (the memoirs of N’STEP’s author from youth through adulthood, incarceration and ultimately transformation; allowing the gang member, affiliate, wannabe and the in-risk youth to objectively examine the gang lifestyle. N’STEP’s® Gangology 101 provides a new paradigm for considering, understanding and addressing gang violence in our communities.
