area. This book reports a qualitative study on the

negative self image is one of the key factors for

Asian youth gang is
less difficult than anticipated and these youth are
committed to conventional norms of society regardless
of their level of criminal involvement. These
analyses inform policy makers and provide practical
information for social workers, probation officers,
police and other helping professionals
in juvenile justice system.
