Community Mobilization: Organizing and maintaining an interactive group of citywide and local agencies, community organizations, groups, and residents, including former gang members, to develop a coordinated policy and program approach to the juvenile gang problem.

Opportunities Provision: Providing employment, training, and educational opportunities and cultural enrichment programs directed to gang youth and youth at high risk of gang membership.

Suppression: Holding juveniles accountable for their crimes and misbehavior in accordance with law, social policy, and the interests of the community.

Organizational Change and Development: Modifying and developing agency and community policies and practices that facilitate effective implementation of the first four strategies and that enhance the community's capacity specifically to prevent and reduce the juvenile gang problem.
