A wide array of criminological theories applicable to gang formation, expansion, and intervention will be reviewed. The influence of the family, media, peers, socioeconomic status, drugs, neighborhood affiliation, public housing, and schools on gang activity will be presented. An overview of the legal framework in which police and gangs interact along with the roles of the police, prosecutor, the juvenile court, and correctional personnel (e.g., security threat groups) will be presented. Course discussion will include significant policy implications due to gang violence.
