Gang members do not leave their behaviors, attitudes, and conflicts outside the school environment. Gangs, unchecked and unidentified in a school setting, often engage in threat and intimidation; physical and cyber bullying; fighting; recruiting; and criminal activities such as the introduction and use of weapons, assault, sex trafficking, vandalism, and illegal drug sales. The absence of a well-developed, strategic, collaborative, and effective school safety plan can lead to violence and other unsafe and disruptive activities within a school setting.  \nIt is not solely the responsibility of schools to create and maintain a safe learning environment, free from the disruption gangs can cause, for students, faculty, and staff. To develop a comprehensive plan that identifies effective, evidence-based strategies to address gang issues in the school environment requires the involvement of law enforcement, school administrators and staff, and other key sectors ofthe community. The OJJDP Comprehensive Gang Model highlights such a holistic approach by coordinating the roles ofall agencies and organizations within a community that are responsible for addressing gang-related crime and violence. Schools are part of the larger community.  \nGangs in Schools Bulletin  \nTHREE-PRONGED RESPONSE  \nThe best strategies are proactive rather than simply reactive. An effective response begins with the coordination of prevention, intervention, and suppression efforts guided by appropriate information sharing protocols.  \nThis establishes shared responsibility for tackling gang-related problems in schools.  \nPREVENTION  \nGang prevention is based on early identification of occurrences and trends within the school and community and the provision of evidence-based services and activities designed to discourage a youth’s decision tojoin a gang.  \nINTERVENTION  \nGang intervention strategies focus on youth who exhibit some level of engagement in a gang and are provided with evidence-based services to facilitate gang disengagement.  \nSUPPRESSION  \nGang suppression strategies related to the school environment focus on proactive measures to mitigate many of the fa","cbCaif1zWPSHiaR5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif1zWPSHiaR5","pdf",7177813,16,"English","# Impact to Schools\n## What Does Gang Activity Look Like?\n## Creating a Collaborative Process Between Schools and Law Enforcement\n## The Role of Law Enforcement\n## The Role of School Administration\n## School Prevention Strategies to Consider\n## School Intervention Strategies to Consider\n## School Suppression Strategies to Consider\n## Resources and Reference","[{\"question\":\"Why can gang affiliation create ongoing problems inside schools?\",\"answer\":\"The guide explains that students may not leave gang-related behaviors, attitudes, and conflicts outside school.
