| Description: |
Gangs have existed for decades, and whilst the culture may have changed, gang members still live on the edge of society. It wasn't so different for gangs organised by the likes of the Krays or Richardsons. Weapons are still part of the package and violence prevails. This book looks at today's gang culture and how 20th century gangs operated. |
| Synopsis: |
Gangs have been a way of life for decades, and while the culture may be different today, living on the edge of society is still a mainstay for gang members. Weapons are still part of the package and violence and intimidation prevail. It wasn't so different for gangs organised and 'managed' by the Krays or Richardsons, both based in London, or their peers. For a number of years, young generations of gangs have been described in the press, within inner cities, as the new "extended family", but violence still persists. Many young gang members, and other close associates, face death through stabbings and shootings. This book takes a look at not only the gang culture that exists for youngsters today, but how gangs operated in the 20th century. |
