Research Charts New Territory
Stanislaus State Professor of Criminal Justice Huan Gao is bringing new attention to an understudied issue: youth gang activity in California’s Central Valley. With assistance from criminal justice students, Gao completed research on the topic and the study resulted in her new book, “Youth Involvement in Street Gangs in California’s Central Valley,” (Routledge) released on Nov. 13. The 234-page book is the first study to comprehensively examine youth gang involvement in rural areas. The book’s release coincided with the American Society of Criminology’s annual conference in San Francisco.
