Here is a pdf file of my keynote speech (as written) to the California Gang Investigators Association National Gang Violence Conference (co-sponsored by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) on July 21, 2009. The talk focused on Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and the 18th Street gang, as does my book, No Boundaries: Transnational Latino Gangs and American Law Enforcement (University of Michigan Press 2009).
You can order the book from the Michigan Press, or from Amazon.com or other internet bookseller. No Boundaries is also in book stores (e.g., Borders, Barnes & Noble, at least in Washington, DC).
The actual delivery of the speech varied a bit from this text. CSPAN-Books TV taped the address. The broadcast is now scheduled for Sunday, August 2 at 5 P.M. Eastern time.
Here is an illustration of the pith helmet that I showed during my talk:

And here is a print illustrating the Battle of Rorke’s Drift, which I also talked about.
