This book is the third publication from the Eurogang Network, a
cross-national collaboration of researchers (from both North
America and Europe) devoted to comparative and multi-national
research on youth gangs. It provides a unique insight into the
influence of migration on local gang formation and development,
paying particular attention to the importance of ethnicity. The
book also explores the challenges that migration and ethnicity pose
for responding effectively to the growth of such gangs,
particularly in areas where public discourse on such issues is
restricted. Chapters in the book are concerned to address both
situations where there have been longstanding problems with street
gangs as well as areas where such issues have just started to
emerge. A variety of different research traditions and approaches
are represented, including ethnographic methods, self-report
surveys and interviews, official records data and victim
interviews. It will be essential reading for anybody interested in
the phenomenon of street and youth gangs.

This book uses a multi-methods study of incarcerated youths to
examine the pathways to gang involvement, the drug distribution
system and hierarchy within gangs, levels of traumatic stress and
depression among gang-involved youths, and other mechanisms of
control and retention within the system of gangs. Based on a study
of young inmates in Norway, with international backgrounds
including Africa, Pakistan, Middle East and Western Europe, the
findings explained in this book are broadly applicable. It aims to
create a picture of the entire system of gang membership, while
revealing a research framework that could be applied to other
studies. Gang members were found in high levels to be suffering
from depression and traumatic stress, and were often heavily
indebted (financially and otherwise) to persons in the outside
world. Owing money, violence and other threats, all make it
difficult to leave the system, despite the pains they suffer within
it. In order understand young peoples' life within the system, and
its hold on them, and in order to reduce its continuation and
growth, this important analysis helps researchers and policy
makers, particularly those interested in juvenile justice, youth
gangs, and drug trafficking understand its logic and identify its
weak points and possible ways out.
