Description
The emergence in the 1980's of youth gangs in the Boston area began a youth sub-culture that has taken root in geographically diverse urban communities. Students in this course will be introduced to gang culture, its origins and meaning. The reasons youth are attracted to gang life will be explored and delinquent behavior will be viewed within the context of gang expectation. Students will learn to identify gang colors, symbols and terminology and will gain insight into the personal experience of gang membership.
