Gang Science – David Pyrooz

KGNU - How On Earth

Gang Violence in Aurora last summer

CU Boulder Criminologist David Pyrooz explains the science of understanding gang violence. He shares why immigrant gangs such as Tren de Aragua catch so much media attention, even though they represent only a small part of national gang violence. Pyrooz also shares what drives gangs, ways to reduce gang violence, and his personal work with the City of Aurora Project SAVE (SAVE is short for “Stand Against Violence Every Day.)
