Youth Gang Homicides: A Literature Review

James C. Howell

This literature review aims to help fill the information void regarding youth gang homicide by summarizing data and results of empirical studies. Information on the topic is summarized in five areas. First, the growth in youth gang homicides is assessed. Second, distinguishing characteristics of gang homicides are reviewed. Third, studies of the relationship between youth gang homicides and drug trafficking are examined. Fourth, promising programs and intervention strategies are reviewed. Program and policy implications are discussed in the final section. Youth gang homicides can be prevented and reduced.
