this is a inspirational title by "tookie" who was the leader of the cribs before being sent to death row. However 12 years into death row he decided to write theses books to teel kids to not follow his footsteps, and instead stay out of gangs. Will help bring peace as a result. a necessary read

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Recommended for Educators, 24 Nov 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Gangs and Violence (Tookie Speaks Out Against Gang Violence) (Paperback)
I am a gang and youth violence expert working with the San Diego County Office of Education, Safe Schools Unit. I have alerted many of our schools about the series of books by Stanley "Tookie" Williams. I do not recommend the purchase of this book. The content of the books are not appropriate for young people. The images of gangs are not accurate (Too much negative sterotyping). The book is written in a simplistic style that will quickly bore young students. Youth need to critically examine information not be talked down to. You may email me for alternate suggestions for gang prevention books for youth.
