This strategy has been promoted as a problem-oriented response to gang problems. Allan examines whether the process of acquiring a gang injunction incorporates the primary dimensions of problem-oriented responses: flexibility and community involvement. Flexibility is evident in the even distribution of initiatives among three categories high-drug, high-crime, and high-disorder. Evidence of community involvement is weak, due to the lack of community organizations in gang-plagued neighborhoods, the low-profile nature of the initiatives, and the potential for retaliation against participants. Although the expectation for community involvement in gang injunction initiatives should be tempered, civil gang abatement is an appropriate approach to neighborhood gang problems."Criminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)GangsUnited StatesOrganized crimeUnited StatesInjunctionsUnited StatesNuisancesUnited StatesGangsOrganized crimeInjunctionsNuisances345.73/02Allan Edward L.1948-1872526MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960563703321Civil gang abatement4481719UNINA
