Gang Resistance
The Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T) program was developed in 1991 by law-enforcement officers in Phoenix, Arizona, in response to an increase in local gang activity. The program is taught to middle school-aged children by police officers in the school setting. Although the goals of the program were to encourage children to avoid gangs and gang-related activities, as well as to develop a positive attitude toward law enforcement, a 2006 study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice revealed the program was not effective. As a result, the program was modified. The most current assessment of the program suggests the revisions have been a positive change.
