Sumario:Part of a special issue on challenging corporate control of schools and communities. The writer examines why California, despite being the sixth largest economy in the world and home to the wealthiest communities in the history of humanity, is also the state of origin of the most notorious gangs in the U.S. He traces California's history of racial and class tension and the roots of the current gang warfare and reviews some innovative gang prevention and intervention programs. He concludes that the solution to the gang problem lies not in suppression sprinkled with prevention but rather in a comprehensive effort that will involve schools, families, businesses, gang youth, law enforcement, churches, and others.
