Friends ... if you have a few minutes could you read and respond to the 4 questions below please?

I am doing some research regarding this theme and would be grateful for any comments that you have. I hope to collate responses anonymously. If you would like a copy of any write up that I manage to do, please let me know.

1 In your youth work practice, are you aware of any gangs that exist in your area of work? If yes, can you offer a single sentence that describes the gang/s?

2 Are you aware of any youth workers who work amongst gangs? If so, can you offer a sentence to describe their work?

3 What do you think are the main issues or problems that young people who are involved in gang culture and activity face? For example, do they face issues or have needs that are any different from other young people’s? What is unique?

4 What do you think youth work has to offer young people who are involved in gang culture and activity?

Many thanks for your time - Dave Wiles, Frontier Youth Trust
