چکیده
Gangs can be understood in many ways. John hagedorn (2005) and Sudhir Venkatesh (2003) describe gangs as replacements for mainstream institutions (the state, the family) that find themselves in crisis. others such as luis barrios (2003) and David brotherton (2003) argue that gangs take on aspects of social movements. Finally, many have observed that gangs proliferate and operate within the realm of youth culture, citing among other examples the role of the film Colors in the dissemination of los Angeles gang culture (Klein 1995).
