Parent and family supports are the building blocks of efforts towards prevention and intervention in community youth violence. The National Youth Gang Survey states that over 92% of gang members are males. In families with strong father involvement, both males and females are more supported and less likely to be attracted by gangs. In a study conducted in 2009 promoting father engagement with children parenting stress decreased the most when fathers and mothers participated in parent groups together. In addition, when fathers were engaged, their involvement significantly increased and their children become much less aggressive, hyperactive or socially withdrawn than children of fathers who did not attend parenting groups.
