sociology of gangs  

Définition(s)

  • The dominant alternative discourse on contemporary gangs arises from criminology, following the criminal turn in gang studies after the 1960s. Large portions of federal, state, and local law enforcement budgets are devoted to gang suppression, and the 2009 Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) report National Gang Threat Assessment attributes as much as 80 percent of crime to gang activity.
