The present book provides insights into the processes and motivations
invol-ved in group formation and joining, as well as into group cohesiveness and
dis-integration, and the processes whereby individual members disengage or are unable to
do so. Various forms of interaction between the group and the social environment will also
have great impact on the fate of the group and its members. These are all processes and
mechanisms that can be influ-enced through prevention and intervention measures – and
more effectively so if action is based on knowledge of both the general phenomenon as well
as of the local situation.
The text provides a detailed description of several intervention methods and programmes
that have been developed to address problems of violent and/or racist youth groups and
violence, and that have been demonstrated to have some success in that respect. The main
target groups are youth workers, social workers, teachers, police officers, municipal
administrators, policy mak-ers and other practitioners who are in positions where they have
to handle emerging problems of racist and violent youth groups, as well as stu-dents to these
professions.
