This longitudinal study allows for examination of the trends in scope and magnitude of youth gangs nationally by measuring the presence, characteristics, and behaviors of local gangs in jurisdictions throughout the United States. This collection includes 1 SPSS data file with 2,388 cases and 606 variables.
