In Clean Streets, Patrick Carr draws on five years of research in a white, working-class community on Chicago?s South side to see how they tried to keep their streets safe. Carr details the singular event for this community and the resulting rise of community activism: the shootings of two local teenage girls outside of an elementary school by area gang members. As in many communities struck by similar violence, the shootings led to profound changes in the community's relationship to crime prevention. Notably, their civic activism has proved successful and, years after the shooting, community involvement remains strong.Carr mines this story of an awakened neighborhood for unique insights, contributing a new perspective to the national debate on community policing, civic activism, and the nature of social control. Clean Streets offers an important story of one community's struggle to confront crime and to keep their homes safe. Their actions can be seen as a model for how other communities can face up to similarly difficult problems. 410 0$aNew perspectives in crime, deviance, and law series. 606 $aGang prevention$zIllinois$zChicago$xCitizen participation 606 $aCrime prevention$zIllinois$zChicago$xCitizen participation 607 $aBeltway (Chicago, Ill.)$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGang prevention$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aCrime prevention$xCitizen participation. 676 $a364.4/3/0977311 700 $aCarr$b Patrick J$01034560 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455095503321 996 $aClean streets$92453773 997 $aUNINA
