Preferred term

street gangs  

Definition

  • Street gangs are neighborhood-based cliques of young men who band together ostensibly for protection but more cogently to meet emotional needs. As such, they have tended to be loosely organized near-groups with roles changing to meet members' desires. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Deviance; Gangs, Street]
