Compiled by three leading experts in the psychological,
sociological, and criminal justice fields, this volume addresses
timely questions from an eclectic range of positions. The product
of a landmark conference on gangs, Gangs and Society brings
together the work of academics, activists, and community leaders to
examine the many functions and faces of gangs today. Analyzing the
spread of gangs from New York to Texas to the West Coast, the book
covers such topics as the spirituality of gangs, the place of women
in gang culture, and the effect on gangs of a variety of
educational programs and services for at-risk youth. The final
chapter examines the "gang-photography phenomenon" by looking at
the functions and politics of different approaches to gang
photography and features a photographic essay by Donna DeCesare, an
award-winning journalist.
