The problem of gangs and gang subculture is a growing threat to the
stability of neighborhoods and entire communities. During the past
two decades, gang members have increasingly migrated from large
urban centers to suburban areas and other countries. This book
addresses the intricacies and diversities of street gangs, drawing
on the expertise of high-ranking law enforcement officials
monitoring terrorist activity and gang-related crimes as well as
professional private investigators who have spent several decades
investigating gangs and learning their subculture, lifestyle,
motivations, and relationships. Ideal for supplemental reading in
gang violence courses on criminal justice, sociology, law, and
psychology, this comprehensive anthology presents thorough coverage
of a notoriously difficult subject. It explores the following key
topics: Social, psychological, and criminal impact of street gangs
on juveniles Psychology of gang membership and the pathways that
lead into and out of gang culture Relationship between religion and
dangerous criminal gangs How U.S.-based gangs are using technology
to advance their operations Use of graffiti by street gangs
Evolution of gangs and recommendations for preventing future growth
Gang enhancement crimes and associated misconduct of police and
prosecutors Like any type of crime, street gang criminal activity
cannot be totally eliminated. This book aims to provide a better
understanding of gangs so that we can influence today's potential
gang members to make the right decisions for their sake and the
sake of society.
