A Street Cop's Guide. Long
before international terrorists threatened our borders, local gang

homes. Gang Investigations: A Street Cop’s Guide provides
a step-by-step guide to gang identification, arrest, search and
seizure, prosecution, and other programs that have been used successfully
by criminal justice agencies nationwide. Anti-gang strategies are
discussed along with the results of their implementation.
This guide will better prepare every police officer and detective
to deal with the modern street gang. With Watkins’ and
Ashby’s knowledge, departments and officers can develop
better strategies to curb gang violence and the fear of street
terrorists.
