AB Finn-Aage Esbensen’s contribution to research and practice in the areas of gangs, youth violence, juvenile delinquency, school-based prevention, and evaluation research is extensive. His published and highly cited work includes over 80 articles, 30 book chapters, 5 books, and a plethora of presentations and government reports. To support this work, Finn was successful in securing grant funding primarily from the National Institute of Justice totaling nearly $8 million. Additionally, he has been integral in bringing together individuals from various countries to examine gangs from an international perspective. This record ensued from his perpetual passion for answering novel questions, ensuring the practical utility of research findings, and training the next generation of scholars. As a result, his work has become nationally and internationally known and has led to Finn being identified as one of the premier gang and juvenile violence researchers.
