STUTTGART, Germany — The military is sponsoring a conference this week to train its employees how to recognize and prevent gang activity by youths.

The conference will gather child and youth services workers, educators and law enforcement officers on Thursday and Friday at the NH Hotel in Weinheim, near Heidelberg.

Two specialists from the U.S. are being brought in to be featured presenters. Their goals will include teaching the basics about gangs.

Participants will learn about jargon, dress and symbols, youth crime prevention strategies, and the lure of gangs and influence of media on youth, according to the conference’s flier.

About 70 people are expected to attend.
