Youth Gangs in American Society

For a class

The book itself was a good read. It was a little boring in some areas but very thorough. I rented this book and even though the actual book itself was fine and not too worn out, there was edits, (Underlines, notes, highlights, and notations) on almost every page. Most pages are fine enough to read but some were kind of annoying to read

Really informative and digestible overview of gang formation, culture and intervention. An amazing read for anyone interested in working in or around the field. While the definitions of gangs and gang culture are not static, this book provides an excellent foundation on which to build upon through field work and personal research. More importantly, this book challenges the reader to expand his understanding of what a gang is and how they function in not only obvious urban settings but rural and suburban too. It also calls for serious investigation into the historical development of gangs and external factors and stressors that contribute to the spread of gang membership and violence. While it is written in an informational style, it isn't too elevated or alternatively, jargon-filled to be a relatively easy read. Finally, the authors do a great job of presenting the serious subject matter and the facts in an engaging manner that isn't taxing on the reader.

Amazing hospitality! The book was sent quickly and with a super reasonable price!

I like the book, I used the book for my class at school.

Bad condition and too expensive

Very informative. Well-written.

Excellent learning material.
