The intent of this monograph is to identify some of the most
salient characteristics of contemporary criminal street gangs (that
is, the gang phenomenon or third generation gangs), and to explain
the linkage to insurgency. As a corollary, Dr. Max G. Manwaring
argues that gang-related crime, in conjunction with the instability
it wreaks upon governments, is now a serious national security and
sovereignty problem in important parts of the global community.
Although differences between gangs and insurgents exist, in terms
of original motives and modes of operation, this linkage infers
that the gang phenomenon is a mutated form of urban insurgency.
That is, these nonstate actors must eventually seize political
power to guarantee the freedom of action and the commercial
environment they want. The common denominator that can link gangs
and insurgents is that some gangs' and insurgents' ultimate
objective is to depose or control the governments of targeted
countries.
