<p>The chronological case study explores the evolution of Chicago street gangs--from the alienated ethnic youth of yesterday, to their present-day expansion into the worlds of organized crime, religion, politics, legitimate business, and international terrorism. Olivero, a consultant on gangs for the Attucks Community Board in Southern Illinois and the Police Department of Mission, Texas, creates a vivid picture of gang subculture and provides a valuable historical perspective on the future of gangs. Topics include gangs in the Illinois Prison System, gangs and religion, gang involvement in terrorism and crime, motorcycle gangs, ethnic gangs, the spreading influence of gangs, and gang versus law enforcement and citizen groups. A readable and recommended resource for lay readers, students, and professionals in the fields of political science, sociology, and criminal justice.</p>
