Gang Involvement among Immigrant and Refugee Youth: A Developmental Ecological Systems Approach 125 - 134 (3 - 4)
«People in the parks and recreation field need to be involved in developing these strategies, as they're one
among a number of stakeholder groups that can help combat
gang involvement,» Stodolska said.
School districts included trauma, mental health issues, social media (including bullying and other conflicts), immigration status,
gang involvement, drug use by students or parents, lack of parental guidance and support, and situational barriers like transportation, jobs, and responsibilities at home
among the many challenges that affect student behavior or attendance and can lead to discipline issues.
