Hi Sue
I think his explanations fell right in line with what a number of researchers
are finding. Everyone wants approval and support--if they can't find it
elsewhere, gangs fill the bill nicely. It has everything going--rituals,
special names, feelings of belonging, solidarity, etc. etc. What more could a
young, driftless person want?
Also, the economic and power factors seemed to be two of the underlying threads
in the book which I thought really good about the book. You could really pick
it up when you read what the suspects, witnesses and alive victims said. I am
thinking of recommeding it to LE students. Some of them are so starry-eyed
about becoming police officers--maybe reading of the paperwork, etc. will bring
them down to earth : )
