Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), U.S. Department of Justice.

Responses to the 1998 National Youth Gang
Survey were submitted voluntarily by law enforcement agencies throughout
the country. Readers are cautioned against basing judgments on the nature
or extent of the gang problem in a particular locality solely on the data
presented here. Because of differing methodology, definitions, and sampling
techniques, caution is also urged in making direct comparisons between
these data and data obtained in other surveys.
