“We can no longer afford to minimize or ignore the contributions of women and girls to all stages of conflict resolution, peacemaking, peace-building, peacekeeping and reconstruction processes.
Sustainable peace will not be achieved without the full and equal participation of women and men.”1 Kofi Annan Wars in the past two decades have heightened awareness of the vulnerability of non-combatants in civil strife. Civilians in every major conflict – Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bosnia, Cambodia, El Salvador and others – have been regularly targeted as a tactic of war. Women have not escaped this targeting – in fact, in many conflicts, women have been particular targets, as armed forces attempt to demoralize their opponents.
At the same time, women have not participated in political negotiations to end their conflicts. Neither have they been included in many UN-sponsored mediations. As a result, a special concern for women’s issues is often missing from peace settlements, hampering reconstruction and reconciliation processes. Contemporary analysis of war and peace issues often draws on the idea of human security—in addition to national security— in order to focus on the individual as well as the connections between individuals and groups within societies.
In that way, peace depends on the belief by all those affected by the outcome of a negotiated peace or the resumption of war and violence (referred to as “stakeholders”) that their needs and aspirations will be taken into account. Increasingly, the inclusion of women is an essential element to understanding the roots of a conflict and also to developing innovative, viable solutions that can help establish sustainable peace. The importance of bringing gender into peacebuilding is not confined to redressing the violations of the human rights of women or addressing women’s economic, social, or justice needs. Instead, for many, a gendered perspective represents peacebuilding as a process of inclusion.
Steve Jobs attained unprecedented success in business thanks to his holistic approach to innovation. Therefore a holistic approach to homelessness will produce unprecedented results that are beneficial to all. The way we relate to one another is instrumental to our well-being and survival. So we must join forces and work together to reduce and/or end homelessness.
Many argue that holistic strategy (i.e. holistic approach to business) sounds abstract - but the chronic silo mentality in organizations reduces efficiency and contributes to more failure than success in the long run. Moreover, I believe that business must encompass the human experience since it is run by humans for humans. As Plato puts it: “The Part Can Never Be Well Unless the Whole is Well."

From the Administrator
For more than half a century, gangs
have presented a critical chal-
lenge to communities across the
United States. Despite the growth
in the number of gangs and gang
members over the past several years,
little is known about the dynamics
underlying this increase. We need to
enhance our understanding of which
youth join gangs and why.
This bulletin draws on research
findings to examine how gangs form
and how communities may assess
and respond to their gang problems.
The author, Dr. James C. Howell,
a senior research associate with the
National Gang Center, identifies
nine programs evidencing effective-
ness in combating gangs.
The content provided in these pages
has informed the Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Preven-
tion’s FY 2010 Youth Gang Preven-
tion and Intervention Program.
While additional research needs to
be done, by adapting the second-
ary prevention programs described
herein and similar evidence-based
approaches to address their local
gang problems, communities can en-
sure a better future for their youth.

Gang Prevention: An Overview of
Research and Programs
by James C. Howell
Highlights
This bulletin presents research on why youth join gangs and how a community
can build gang prevention and intervention services. The author summarizes
recent literature on gang formation and identifies promising and effective pro-
grams for gang prevention. The following are some key findings:
• Youth join gangs for protection, enjoyment, respect, money, or
because a friend is in a gang.
• Youth are at higher risk of joining a gang if they engage in delin-
quent behaviors, are aggressive or violent, experience multiple care-
taker transitions, have many problems at school, associate with other
gang-involved youth, or live in communities where they feel unsafe
and where many youth are in trouble.
• To prevent youth from joining gangs, communities must strengthen
families and schools, improve community supervision, train teachers
and parents to manage disruptive youth, and teach students interper-
sonal skills.
Guides for assessing community gang problems and implementing intervention
and prevention strategies, part of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquen-
cy Prevention’s Comprehensive Gang Model, are available on the National
Gang Center Web site (www.nationalgangcenter.gov/Publications).
