Irving Spergel's book on the Little Village application of the Comprehensive Community gang intervention model is unique as an example of applied research and effective programmatic response. Spergel has created a program to ameliorate community gang problems that is well worth a look by policy makers, gang responders, and criminological theorists. It is the best and most tested reaction to gang problems available today.--G. David Curry
