This book describes the results of over two years in the field
conducting ethnographic research on youth gangs in an English city.
It traces the emergence and evolution of street gangs in various
areas of the city, with a particular focus on the features of these
groups (including ethnicity and the role of women), the role of
violence and territoriality in their dynamics and processes of
identity formation, as well as the role of drug selling and other
earning activities. The life courses of gang-involved individuals
are also examined, as well as community responses to these gangs.
This book fills a gap in the literature by critically assessing the
'problem' of youth gangs in the UK context: for academics, for
empirical researchers, for politicians, for policy makers, for
practitioners and for community members. This book examines the
political and economic context of the street gang phenomenon in the
UK, and in doing so, addresses key theoretical and substantive
issues facing sociologists and criminologists today.
