Within the Mexican American barrios of Los Angeles, gang activity, including crime and violent acts, has grown and flourished. In the past, community leaders and law enforcement officials have approached the problem, not as something that needs to be understood, but only as something to be gotten rid of. Rejecting that approach, James D. Vigil asserts that only by understanding the complex factors that give birth and persistence to gangs can gang violence be ended. Drawing on many years of experience in the barrios as a youth worker, high school teacher, and researcher, Vigil identifies the elements from which gangs spring: isolation from the dominant culture, poverty, family stress and crowded households, peer pressure, and the adolescent struggle for self-identity. Using interviews with actual gang members, he reveals how the gang often functions as parent, school, and law enforcement in the absence of other role models in the gang members' lives. And he accounts for the longevity of gangs, sometimes over decades, by showing how they offer barrio youth a sense of identity and belonging nowhere else available.

Brothers, Charlie and Freddie White, along with their friends--The Rainbow Gang--find a very unusual ancient looking chest in their dad's garden shed. The chest magically speaks to them and sends them underground to a world inhabited by elves. The elf world is being disturbed by a clumsy young giant from a world below the elf world. The ensuing, sometimes humorous, adventure brings them into contact with lots of unusual creatures and sees The Rainbow Gang set off on a mission to rescue the young giant, whose actions have disrupted the water tables underground. During their adventure, the gang encounters giant hedgehogs, giant moles and large talking fish. Charlie and his friends come into contact with another gang--The Girls--who help them in their adventure and both gangs strike up a lasting friendship.

"The Gangs of Los Angeles is a classic, real life account of American crime. From the early Tomato Gangs of 1890's Boyle Heights to the modern Crips and Mara Salvatrucha, with side trips through an Irish Dogtown, the gang wars of "Happy Valley," Sleepy Lagoon and the yellow journalism of the Hearst Press, and a tragic murder at Sunset and Vine, Dunn recounts the events and notorious denizens that spawned LA's gang subculture"--P.

Multiple Marginality and Gangs: Through a Prism Darkly unravels the youth gang problem in a multidimensional approach that encompasses the place, status, social control, subcultural, and identity facets of urban street gangs. The power of place and the status of persons and groups are the major forces that generate the many situations and conditions that give rise to gangs. In its simplest trajectory, Multiple Marginality can be modeled as follows: place/status to street socialization to street subculture to street identity. It is the actions and reactions among them that we fathom. As we witness detrimental or absent family influence, we also observe weaker, underfunded schools that limit educators’ reach. At the same time, there has been an increase in the militarization of law enforcement to deal with the youth street populations, the heaviest hand is that of the police. There is a causal relationship between social marginalization factors and gang membership. A psychological analysis also entails how street socialization leads to a street identity. In a place and status group, the cascading effects of marginalization have certainly affected—and mostly thwarted—social control institutions.

1840, New York est la ville de l'or et du crime. Fraîchement débarqués sur les rives de Manhattan, les truands fondent des empires éphémères. Dans les lupanars de Five Points et les bas-fonds de Mulberry End, les trafiquants d'armes et d'alcool affrontent les caïds du jeu et de la prostitution. Historien et conteur, Herbert Asbury ressuscite ces tribus de l'ombre : les Swamp Angels qui règnent sur le labyrinthe des égouts, les Bowery Boys et leurs légions d'amazones, les Dead Rabbits qui défient les soldats fédéraux en bataille rangée... A la tête de ces armées tentaculaires s'illustrent des chefs aux noms bibliques tel Moïse, le colosse roux qui traverse l'Hudson à la nage, ou Leslie le lettré, génie du coffre-fort. Publié pour la première fois en 1928, Gangs of New York a inspiré entre autres Borges pour son Histoire de l'infamie, et plus récemment Martin Scorsese pour son odyssée new-yorkaise, avec dans les rôles principaux Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel DayLewis et Cameron Diaz.
