Youth Street Gangs: A Critical Appraisal - New Directions in Critical Criminology 2nd edition
Brotherton, David C. (John Jay College, New York, USA)
The book critiques the pathologization of gangs in recent decades, particularly its negative consequences for democracy in an age of punishment, cruelty and coercive social control. It critically reviews gang theory and the enabling role of orthodox criminology, and concludes by making a plea for researchers to engage the gang reflexively.
