history of gangs  

Definición

  • Many contemporary experts on gangs, focused as they are on dealing with the present gang problem, seem to think that serious street gang issues began around 1900. Obeisance, to be sure, may be paid to the gangs of mid-1800s New York—but is as if they existed in a vacuum.
