Preferred term

white gangs  

Definition

  • Although the number of gangs in general greatly expanded during the 20th century, such gangs have earlier roots in U.S. history. The spread of the industrial revolution during the 1800s contributed to their growth, as did increased immigration. [Source: Encyclopedia of Race and Crime; White Gangs]
