Criminal Culture (Gang Intervention)
A cognitive behavioral group for offenders whose primary criminogenic needs are antisocial associates and antisocial attitudes. This group focuses on the “addiction” to the excitement of the criminal lifestyle, environmental factors contributing to criminal behavior, and how to build a prosocial network. In addition to gang members, this group is appropriate for offenders convicted on drug possession or distribution but who demonstrate no substance abuse disorder, but rather are “adrenaline junkies.”
