Theories of gangs explain the emergence of gangs but offer little insight into their persistence and growth. Weisel examined the organizational characteristics of four criminal gangs. Although large gangs appear disorganized, they are not ephemeral groups. Instead the gangs feature characteristics of organic-adaptive organizations rather than hierarchical or bureaucratic organizations. As such, these gangs feature blended goals, shared decision making, a structure based on subdivisions, and a generalist orientation. Such features promote efficiency in a highly volatile environment and contribute to increases in the size and number of contemporary gangs in America. 410 0$aCriminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC) 606 $aGangs$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aGangs$zIllinois$zChicago$vCase studies 606 $aGangs$zCalifornia$zSan Diego$vCase studies 615 0$aGangs 615 0$aGangs 615 0$aGangs 676 $a364.1/06/6 700 $aWeisel$b Deborah Lamm$01113172 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959012103321 996 $aContemporary gangs$94477902 997 $aUNINA
