This workbook addresses the “risk factors” approach to
gang involvement and activity. The objective is for participants to
identify their own highest risk factors and acknowledge that these
risks and temptations will be out there, waiting, upon release. “If you

you stand a good chance.” |

What do you need? (needs and gangs) |
This workbook—based on Maslow’s needs hierarchy
theory—addresses gang activity from the point of view of underlying
needs. These needs won’t go away; they will be present when the
participants return to the community. Thus this workbook guides the
students in finding alternative—and better—ways to meet those needs
than gangs or crime. |
