Fighting Chance fearlessly exposes the growing problem of gang culture in the UK, challenging us to look past the stereotypes and engage with the young people involved: to mentor them, listen to them, and to inspire them to consider a different way of life--before it's too late. Without sensationalizing or condemning, it exposes what drives young people into gangs worldwide--including poverty, family breakdown, and the need to belong. But the focus is on the solution: how to prevent people joining gangs in the first place, and how to help those deeply involved find a way out. Patrick Regan not only highlights the work of the individuals and organizations who are already tackling Britain's gang problems, but also challenges and inspires everyone to be part of the answer.
