Updated National Youth Gang Survey Analysis Now Available
September 21, 2009
 The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's National Youth Gang Center has posted updated findings and analyses from OJJDP's National Youth Gang Survey (NYGS) on its Web site.
Conducted annually since 1995, NYGS is a systematic survey of law enforcement agencies across the nation that assesses the presence, extent, and characteristics of local gang problems.
The National Youth Gang Center Web site provides survey data from 1996 through 2007. Available data include annual numbers of gangs and gang members from 1996 through 2007, the change in the number of gang-problem jurisdictions from 2002 to 2007, and gang member demographics.
