– A detailed global overview of gang culture, covering, amongst others, Glasgow, Chicago, Hong Kong, and Shanghai
– A chapter on researching gangs which covers quantitative and qualitative methods
– Extra chapter features such as key terms, chapter overviews, study questions and further reading suggestions.
Alistair Fraser brings together gang-literature and critical perspectives in a refreshingly new way, exploring ‘gangs’ as a social group with a long and fascinating history.
