"50 Most Asked Questions About Gangs"

by T.Rodgers

T. Rodgers is one of the world's foremost authorities on the mentality, motivation & consequences behind modern gang activity... but his life history is such that he refuses to believe that anybody can call themselves a expert on the subject. This book is probably the most forthright, easily accessible and honest approaches to a misunderstood and hyped topic - it does exactly as the title says, and very well at that.

Rodgers was the founder of the LA chapter of the Black P. Stone Nation. Originally intended as a community based civil rights organisation with strong ties to the disciplined ideology of The Black Panther Party, it was infiltrated by an escalating gang, gun & drug problem which quickly spiralled out of anybody's control into what is now known as the Bloods gang.

His disillusions with gang mentality led to him founding 'Sidewalk University' - a grassroots organisation that trains, coaches & implements very practical strategies proven to reduce youth violence and promote positive thinking, self esteem & community building activities. It has been praised by many - from ex-gang members to police to senior US politicians.
