Book Reviews of Youth Gangs in American Society (Contemporary Issues in Crime and Justice Series.)
Book Review: Youth Gangs
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is by far one of the most innovative and insightful books that I have read in some time. They also challenge the more common images that gangs represent as well. I found myself questioning the basic reasons for there are gangs in America, and found myself finding a whole new perspectie as these people view their dscieion to be in a gang as an economic choice of survival, not that of one they get into because they have a choice.I recommend this book STRONGLY for all students of Criminal Justice.
