Risk factors associated with the probability that a <br />young person will join a gang run across family, school, peer, and community lines. <br />Accordingly, no single program or strategy operating independently is likely to have a <br />lasting effect in reducing gang activity. Comprehensive anti -gang initiatives, however, <br />coordinate multiple approaches in recognition that each strategy plays a role toward a <br />coordinated effort. This funding will be used for overtime, purchase of equipment, and <br />other necessary items to support this program. <br />Prevention: Activities designed to reduce risk factors or increase protective measures <br />among the entire population of youth and families in communities with significant levels of <br />gang activity. These include programs and services intended to decrease the likelihood of <br />joining a gang among youth who have not yet displayed problem behavior. <br />Intervention: Community based programs that balance the delivery of services and <br />educational opportunities with supervision and accountability. Intervention services <br />typically involve outreach to youth and families already involved and affected by gang <br />activity. <br />Suppression: Community- oriented and problem- oriented policing strategies with an <br />emphasis on gangs and collaborative enforcement strategies involving probation, parole, <br />and prosecution to target gang offenders, gang leaders, and serious violent offenders. <br />2009- F1801 -CA -SB Page 21 of 61 <br />
