The purpose of this study was to produce knowledge about how to prevent at-risk youth from joining gangs and reduce delinquency among active gang members. The study evaluated a modification of Functional Family Therapy, a model program from the Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development initiative, to assess its effectiveness for reducing gang membership and delinquency in a gang-involved population. The collection contains 5 SPSS data files and 4 SPSS syntax files: adolpre_archive.sav (129 cases, 190 variables), adolpost_archive.sav (119 cases, 301 variables), Fidelity.archive.sav (66 cases, 25 variables), parentpre_archive.sav (129 cases, 157 variables), and parentpost_archive.sav {116 cases, 220 variables).
