| dc.description.abstract | This work is a compilation of various methods of research in an attempt to gain a better understanding of youth gangs, and what initially draws young people to enter the dangerous world of street gangs. I have analyzed autobiographies, current literature, and have also had the unique opportunity to interview an ex-gang member to study specific dynamics that exist within gangs that may mimic a family. This thesis serves as a contribution to literature, as well as offers insight into a specific aspect of gangs (surrogate family dynamics) that have not been previously studied significantly. | en_US |
