You can read the foreword (a brief description of the book is provided) at: http://courses.smsu.edu/mkc096f/gangbook/default.htm . It's very unusual for a university professor to conduct research and publish their work free of charge, let alone write the work on the Internet and provide thousands of useful links. Such is the case with this book. If you know of police departments, parents groups, schools, etc., in your community that may benefit from reading the book, please share the above site with them.
