Gang culture in America is almost completely institutionalised. The same could be true for Britain in the next decade if we don't act now. As knife crime continues to rise, the police shake their heads in frustration, the media report the stereotypes, gang members are getting younger and postcode wars are so commonplace they don't even make the news anymore. So what can we do? What must be the response of the church? FIGHTING CHANCE addresses the root causes of the growing UK urban gang culture. It's packed with hard-hitting testimonies about how lives have been turned around through the care of those on the 'outside'. Patrick Regan draws on his extensive experience with urban youth in the UK and abroad with his charity XLP. In 1996 Patrick Regan founded XLP, a Christian charity that serves the community by meeting the social, educational and behavioural needs of young people, and empowering them to make wise lifestyle choices. This is his second book.
