Challenging the widely held conjecture that gangs represent 'the
new face of youth crime' this book repudiates claims which situate
the gang at the heart of sexual violence, mass shooting and control
of the illegal drugs trade. It pushes the epistemological,
methodological and ontological borders of cultural criminology in
order to understand violent street worlds and the informal
organisations that operate within them. In part polemic, in part
theoretical treatise, the book deciphers the gang talk now mediated
by a developing industry of gang-talkers and explores how street
realities have become lost in a collectively induced fantasy where
gangs are regarded as public enemy number one.
