Investigating the Typologies of Gang-Involved Individuals Charged with Firearm-Related Offenses in New Jersey

Objective:
This project builds on research efforts led by the PI to investigate longitudinal gang violence in New Jersey. His work, funded by the National Institute of Justice, seeks to investigate the networked diffusion of firearm violence within the gang conflict landscape, with a primary focus on the connections (i.e., the edges) of violence between actors. However, greater research is needed to investigate the typologies of the individuals who are involved in the violence (i.e., the actors). Thus, this study seeks to fill this void to investigate the typologies of offenders charged with gang-related firearms offenses.
