Sommario/riassunto

The third edition of Youth Gangs (formerly Juvenile Gangs) represents a significant updating of many of the chapters from the previous two editions. In terms of organization and topics Youth Gangs is almost identical to the earlier versions with the exception that the separate chapter on typologies of youth gangs has been eliminated, with sections of it merged with the chapter that covers classical theories of youth gangs. The 11 chapters are: Chapter One ""Contemporary American Youth Gangs""; Chapter Two ""Youth Gang Violence""; Chapter Three ""Race, Ethnicity, and Contemporary Youth Gangs"";
