Summary

In 2010, the Government of Alberta developed the Alberta Gang Reduction Strategy, --a comprehensive, strategic approach to addressing the challenge of gangs in Alberta through the efficient use of existing resources and support of community partnerships (Government of Alberta, 2010, p. 5). The strategy was developed in response to the increasing presence of gangs and gang violence in Alberta. The goals of the Gang Reduction Strategy are twofold (Government of Alberta, 2010, p. 8): (1) To reduce gang related crime and violence in Alberta; and (2) To strengthen efforts to develop an integrated, comprehensive, and sustainable approach to gang suppression.
