Two respected scholars present original research on youth gangs and school success to explain why some boys become disengaged and join gangs while others do not. They focus on: (1) the role of marginalized communities in the formation of urban gang youth, (2) the role of community-based organizations in re-engaging urban youth, and (3) the role of schools in creating opportunities for urban boys to succeed.
