New from the University of California Press:
Alt-Right Gangs A Hazy Shade of White by
Shannon E. Reid and
Matthew Valasik.
About the book, from the publisher:
Alt-Right Gangs
provides a timely and necessary discussion of youth-oriented groups
within the white power movement. Focusing on how these groups fit into
the current research on street gangs, Shannon E. Reid and Matthew
Valasik catalog the myths and realities around alt-right gangs and their
members; illustrate how they use music, social media, space, and
violence; and document the risk factors for joining an alt-right gang,
as well as the mechanisms for leaving. By presenting a way to understand
the growth, influence, and everyday operations of these groups, Alt-Right Gangs
informs students, researchers, law enforcement members, and policy
makers on this complex subject. Most significantly, the authors offer an
extensively evaluated set of prevention and intervention strategies
that can be incorporated into existing anti-gang initiatives. With a
clear, coherent point of view, this book offers a contemporary synthesis
that will appeal to students and scholars alike.
