The ten major classifications of gangs in the United States are included: Latino, Asian, African-American, Skinhead, Tagger Crews, Party Crews, Posses and Clubs, Hybrid Gangs, Midwest & East Coast Gangs, Female Gangs, and Prison Gangs. The last chapter also aids the student to understand the globalization of America's gangs. The text helps students understand why gangs form and what drives membership and criminal behaviors.
