African American gangs  

Définition

  • As society changes, so do the perception and defining characteristics of what constitutes a gang. In 1971, Klein defined a gang as an identifiable group of youngsters who are generally perceived as a distinct aggregation by others within their neighborhoods and who recognize themselves as a denotable group that has been involved in enough delinquent incidents to call forth a consistently negative response from neighborhood residents and/or law enforcement agencies.
