Overview of Gangs:

In general, gang members join gangs because they want to belong to a group of friends who are of a similar age, background, and socio-economic status. While some upper middle class Caucasian youths do join gangs, gang membership seems to be a growing trend among poverty stricken urban minorities. This paper examines the major trends in gang activity over the past thirty years, the various factors that are offered to explain these trends, which factor is most crucial, and what policy recommendation follows from this.

Major Trends in Gang Activity Over the Past Thirty Years

According to David R. Truman in his article published in the Washington University Law Quarterly, "Organized crime in America has progressed through a variety of incarnations, from the outlaw gangs of the Wild West to the glorified gangsters of the early half of this century (Al Capone, John Dillinger) to the Mafia , personified in the 1980s and 1990s by the Gambino crime family and its "Dapper Don," John Gotti". However, organized crime in America today is becoming more and more controlled by criminal street gangs.
