National Bestseller and Finalist for the Donner Prize Politicians and the media may claim that youth gangs are an American export, but the truth, says youth-gang expert Michael C. Chettleburgh, is that Canada has been cultivating its own homegrown gang culture for years. And gang culture isn't relegated to Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver--it's also in Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Halifax and Hobbema, Alberta. It includes not only poor black kids but privileged white youth, First N ations and Southeast Asian teens in large and small communities across Canada. In a powerful narrative driven by chilling real-life stories of gang members, victims, families and police--and anchored by rigorous research and thoughtful commentary--Chettleburgh creates a touchstone guide that acts as a wake-up call for Canadians.
