Book Description

February 10, 2010
This text is specifically designed to introduce college students to the history and sociology of American street and prison gangs. Topics include discussions of gang growth, gang behaviors, membership psychology, and membership indicia. 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. This understanding is essential for professionals working in the criminal justice, mental health, educational, or social services professions.
