Peace in the Hood: Working with Gang Members to End the Violence

A 40-year peacekeeping veteran of the streets of South Los Angeles, Aquil Basheer, has detailed his gang intervention model and techniques in a groundbreaking new book co-written with journalist Christina Hoag. A first in the field of violence intervention, the book is a compelling read, mixing narrative anecdotes from Basheer’s experience in the streets with essential how-to tactics, including arranging gang truces and cease-fires, spotting signs of gang infiltration in schools, and engaging community members in violence-torn neighborhoods.
