 Gang
Investigator's Handbook
A Law-Enforcement Guide to Identifying and Combating Violent
Street Gangs
by Matthew David O'Deane, Ph.D.
Street gangs, prison gangs and biker gangs -- made up of every
kind of criminal, from vandals and drug dealers to the most violent
predators -- present an especially difficult problem for law enforcement.
Gang Investigator's Handbook is a comprehensive guide to combating
these dangerous groups, based on the successes of many of the best
gang detectives in the field.
Written by an experienced gang investigator from a major metropolitan
prosecutor's office, Gang Investigator's Handbook contains dozens
of strategies and tips for identifying and suppressing gangs in
any community. It provides comprehensive information on:
* typical characteristics of Hispanic, African-American, white,
Asian, prison, biker and female gangs
* interpreting such common gang identifiers as tattoos, graffiti,
hand signs and clothing
* conducting gang crime investigations, including making contacts
with gangbangers on the streets, interviewing them in the field
and in custody, and recruiting and managing informants
* implementing such enforcement tactics as daily patrol suppression,
gang sweeps, wiretaps, narcotic operations and one of the most amazing
tools in the law-enforcement arsenal: the gang injunction
The text is supported by more than 400 photos with detailed analysis
of the gang activity they document, making Gang Investigator's Handbook
invaluable not only to street cops, specialized gang units and prosecutors
but also to criminal justice students, probation and parole agents,
corrections officers, judges, counselors, civic leaders, journalists
and ordinary citizens who want to learn how to reduce gang activity
in their communities.
Matthew O'Deane has been a California police officer since 1992,
and over half of that time he has been tasked with targeting gangs.
He worked for the National City Police Department for 10 years before
moving to the San Diego District Attorney's Office, where he has
served in the Gang Prosecution Unit since 2002. He earned his Ph.D.
in public policy, master's degree in public administration and bachelor's
degree in criminal justice. O'Deane has investigated hundreds of
serious gang crimes, including more than 40 gang-related murders,
and continues to investigate and research gangs on a daily basis.

 Gangs
and Their Tattoos
Identifying Gangbangers On The Street And In Prison
by Bill Valentine and Illustrated by Robert Schober
In this book, Bill Valentine, author of Gang Intelligence Manual,
shares the latest intelligence on the predominant street and prison
gangs and other disruptive groups, with particular emphasis on their
identifying tattoos. Supplementing the text are scores of detailed
illustrations by Correctional Officer Robert Schober that replicate
some of the most common tattoos worn by members of each of the groups
discussed. This groundbreaking work makes a substantial amount of
previously classified information available to the general public
for the first time. In addition to presenting the latest intel on
white, black, Hispanic and Asian gangs, it also includes new information
on groups such as the White Afrikaner Resistance Movement and the
Russian Mafia, which add to the mounting challenge faced by those
laboring to hold the line against the menace posed by gangs, hate
groups and organized crime.
