This book contains a history of the origins of youth gangs and the transformation of these into street gangs that often are connected to prison gangs in large American cities. Importantly, the street gang problem has not decreased in seriousness in the past decade even though the U.S. has seen a sharp drop in violent crime.

This article reviews the research literature on the main mechanisms for transferring juveniles to the criminal justice system: judicial waiver, prosecutorial direct files, and legislative exclusion from juvenile court jurisdiction. The main criteria guiding this review are the extent to which these transfer mechanisms capture serious, violent, and chronic offenders; convict and incarcerate them; and protect the public safety. Most of the research to date focuses on judicial waiver. The article makes an overall assessment of current knowledge and discusses unintended consequences of transferring juveniles to the criminal justice system.
