Alt-Right Gangs: A Hazy Shade of White Tapa dura - 2020

Descripción de contraportada

"An accessible discussion of contemporary alt-right groups that situates them in today's political and cultural context. By drawing parallels between these groups and traditional street gangs, the authors are able to discuss risk and protective factors that are outside ideology, tapping into important prevention and intervention strategies."--Rchael A. Powers, Associate Professor of Criminology, University of South Florida

"Alt-Right Gangs is a timely book that examines the myths and realities of a resurgent white power movement. Shannon E. Reid and Matthew Valasik have produced a primer on the alt-right that promises to spark lively debate among social scientists."--James Densley, Professor of Criminal Justice, Metropolitan State University

"A smart and meticulous exploration of how street gang scholarship can inform our understanding of the white power movement in general and youth-oriented alt-right gangs in particular. Not only does it provide readers with a nuanced and carefully crafted account of the similarities between alt-right gangs and conventional street gangs, it also provides practitioners and policy makers with realistic and useful strategies to combat such groups. This is an essential reference work for understanding alt-right gangs and will be the go-to book in this regard."--Ryan Scrivens, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, Michigan State University

"Contributes a nuanced understanding of the prevention and intervention methods used to address the growing threat that alt-right gangs pose in the United States. Reid and Valasik provide practitioners working to counter violent extremism with direction for creating modeling for new programs and strategic development."--Bradley Galloway, Research and Intervention Specialist, Organization for the Prevention of Violence
