TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Nurses as gangbusters: a response to gang violence in America JO - Pediatric nursing A1 - Rollins, J. A. SP - 559 EP - 567 VL - 19 IS - 6 N2 - A growing number of children in America are joining gangs. Once a youth becomes associated with a gang, violence may be inevitable. Previously considered only a criminal justice problem, violence is now regarded as a preventable public health problem. Health care professionals have been challenged to design effective anti-violence strategies as part of health care reform. Nurses with knowledge about gangs can make a significant contribution to addressing this challenge.
