Gangster culture

Gangster culture refers to the social norms, behaviors, and identity associated with organized crime groups known as gangs. It often includes values like loyalty, toughness, and a sense of protection or community within the group. This culture can involve illegal activities such as drug trafficking, violence, and extortion. It is shaped by situations of marginalization, economic hardship, and social influence, creating a shared identity that supports group solidarity and survival. While sometimes romanticized in media, it is closely linked to crime, violence, and social issues impacting communities.
