Gangs
This entry describes the main conceptual debates and theoretical explanations for “gangs.” After distinguishing between positivist (or realist) and constructivist (or critical) accounts of the gangs phenomenon, it outlines three key approaches to the study of gangs – those based upon analysis of class (and marginalization), gender (and masculinity), and race/ethnicity (and racism/colonialism).
