Gun violence among Asian youth down, but pain remains

Barry Krisberg quoted in New American Media, April 15, 2013

“Historically, gun violence among young Asians is actually very low, often gang-related,” said Barry Krisberg. “There are fewer Asian gangs and they’re not as big as in Latino or black communities.” Even youth incarceration has declined, according to Krisberg…. “More recent immigrants—Southeast Asians who went through horrible experiences as refugees—have higher rates than other Asians.”
