About the Author
About the Author: Gilbert Cabrera started out his career in the construction business where he ran a very successful business. It wasn’t until he decided to try other challenges in his life that he received his Bachelors Degree in Education, from New Mexico State University. This afforded him the opportunity to work in a school created solely to house suspended or expelled students from regular school. He found out that what he was actually teaching too were mostly gang members from different parts of the city and country. After a few years of working with this population he decided to interview members to get an understanding on their views of education as well as to teach to them more effectively. After having interviewed many members from different gangs he compiled this information in a book for educators, but clearly the general public can utilize this information. As a writer and speaker on gang issues in public education he is promoting gang awareness in public schools.
