gang culture

Gang culture refers to the social dynamics and behaviors associated with organized groups, often involved in criminal activities. These groups typically form in urban areas and can provide a sense of identity, belonging, and protection for their members. Gang culture often involves specific codes, rituals, and symbols that define group loyalty and status. It can be influenced by socioeconomic factors, family backgrounds, and peer pressure. While some gangs may engage in violence, others may be involved in drug trafficking or property crimes. Understanding gang culture requires recognizing the complex social issues that contribute to its formation and persistence.
