Multiple Marginality and Gangs: Through a Prism Darkly unravels the
youth gang problem in a multidimensional approach that encompasses
the place, status, social control, subcultural, and identity facets
of urban street gangs. The power of place and the status of persons
and groups are the major forces that generate the many situations
and conditions that give rise to gangs. In its simplest trajectory,
Multiple Marginality can be modeled as follows: place/status to
street socialization to street subculture to street identity. It is
the actions and reactions among them that we fathom. As we witness
detrimental or absent family influence, we also observe weaker,
underfunded schools that limit educators' reach. At the same time,
there has been an increase in the militarization of law enforcement
to deal with the youth street populations, the heaviest hand is
that of the police. There is a causal relationship between social
marginalization factors and gang membership. A psychological
analysis also entails how street socialization leads to a street
identity. In a place and status group, the cascading effects of
marginalization have certainly affected-and mostly thwarted-social
control institutions.
