Guns, gangs and young people ‐ engaging faith communities

Abstract

Recent research suggests that faith communities can be successfully involved in gang initiatives and, indeed, many are already working with children and young people at risk. However, despite their commitment, they receive little professional support and attract few resources. This article outlines how effective partnerships can be developed between statutory agencies and faith communities.
