This webinar will be held in both English and Spanish. Translation from English to Spanish and vice versa will be provided.
Young people account for a disproportionately high fraction of perpetrators and victims of violence, due in part to their involvement with criminal groups. Still, very little is known about the organization of these groups and how they function. A better understanding of how criminal organizations attract the youth and how they operate is paramount in designing an effective strategy to fight crime and curb violence, but the difficulty in “getting inside” these criminal organizations has been a major obstacle. Using a unique dataset of individuals employed in drug-trafficking gangs operating in favelas (slums) in Rio de Janeiro, researchers provide us with an unprecedented picture of the criminal entry, career, and exit alternatives among gang members.
In this webinar, Rodrigo Soares (Columbia University) will present the results of this study on the selection of youth into gangs, the occupational structure of these organizations, and the “careers” of gang members in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Laura Chioda (UC Berkeley) will comment on the implications of this research. A 10-minute Q&A will follow the presentations.
We very much hope you will be able to join us. If there are others in your network who you believe would benefit from participating, please feel free to forward this invitation to them.
