Youth At Risk Research
This project is intended to assist the City of Brooks and other communities located in the County of Newell, with the development of activities to address the root causes of youth gang involvement and other youth criminal activity.
YOUTH
For the purposes of this research, youth are defined as individuals between the ages of 12 and 24.
STORIES
Other information that points to gang activity comes from informal conversations, including family stories.
CHALLENGE
The biggest challenge for this project is that there is no comprehensive data available in the City of Brooks and the County of Newell.
BLUEPRINT
The successful completion of this project may offer a blueprint for other smaller rural communities.
RESOURCES
Gang connections to drug trafficking, prostitution, and ultra-national racism often cannot be followed up on due to the lack of resources.
STRATEGIES
Data and strategies based on larger urban centers do not transfer well to smaller rural communities.
