Gabe Morales is Executive Director of Criminal Justice Solutions, a nonprofit dedicated to providing individuals and organizations with knowledge, training classes, and events to increase their understanding of criminal justice-related issues and provide them with available resources. He has experience serving within the criminal justice system at the adult and juvenile levels, as well as working with at-risk youth. In addition to teaching criminal justice courses, Gabe has written over a dozen books on gangs and gang violence.
"Very informative book and on point. Gabe obviously worked
extensively with at-risk youth. Awareness is the key. Awareness
from the adults involved in the youth's life and from the round
people also so they can be aware of what they need to do to prevent
gang involvement."
Evelyn Cuevas, Pathways to Graduation, New York City Schools
"This is an awesome book; I would highly recommend this to any new
gang cop. This book breaks it down for the new gang investigator to
[have] an open mind and be mindful of the facilitators as well as
the actual gang members with easy-to-ready charts and
pictures."
Tim King, Retired Detention Deputy, Kern County, CA
"Love the book, especially the flow of it. It is a very
comprehensive book."
Jim Quick, President, Tennessee Gang Investigators Association
"Understanding Gangs and Gang Violence in America is a lofty
endeavor to capture the history and activities of the evolving
street/prison gang culture in this nation. It is comprehensive of
each subject area and is a meaningful undertaking. As an academic
piece, it is a perfect primer for the uninitiated and a good
reference for the professional. I found it well written and
researched, even if some assertions may be challenged. Overall, the
reader/student should walk away with another tool in their toolkit
of additional knowledge to the knowledge base. This book also
demonstrates the futility of arresting ourselves out of the gang
problem."
Eduardo Cordero, Supervisor, Los Angeles County Probation
Department-CLEAR
"Gabriel Morales has a passion for working with communities dealing
with gang violence. He is more than willing to share his vast
experience in all aspects of the justice system through speaking
engagements, articles, and books. He is a nationally recognized
expert that can help you with some solutions to gang violence
problems."
