Gangs and Gang Behavior
No Customer Reviews
This collected volume of the best contemporary writings on gangs and gang behavior addresses such questions as why gangs form, why certain youths join gangs when others do not, and what can be done about the web of gang problems. Mays and the contributing authors examine everything from gang status and drugs and violence to Mexican-American girl gangs and women in outlaw motorcycle gangs. The compilation strikes a key balance between contributions from established scholars and currently emerging academics from a variety of social science fields and methodologies. Many of the selections were suggested for inclusion by students themselves for their timeliness, interest, and readability.
