Controversial Issues Project

I was surprised to find my opinion change during the research phase of this project. In the beginning our topic of gangs seemed unreasonable to defend. But the more I read about the literature and the opinions and purposes of the authors, the more intrigued I am about why you wouldn't allow some of these books into your library. I found some good examples of gang literature, and I found some questionable examples. Some books that tried to lead the reader away from that path, and some that gave too much detail for a librarian to be comfortable with. Overall, I was intrigued that my opinion could be swayed in either direction.
