Vigil asserts that only by understanding the complex factors that give birth and persistence to gangs can gang violence be ended. Drawing on many years of experience in the barrios as a youth worker, high school teacher, and researcher, Vigil identifies the elements from which gangs spring: isolation from the dominant culture, poverty, family stress and crowded households, peer pressure, and the adolescent struggle for self-identity. Using interviews with actual gang members, he reveals how the gang often functions as parent, school, and law enforcement in the absence of other role models in the gang members' lives. And he accounts for the longevity of gangs, sometimes over decades, by showing how they offer barrio youth a sense of identity and belonging nowhere else available. 500 $a Includes index. 650 0 $a Gangs $z Los Angeles. $z Los Angeles. 650 0 $a Mexican American youth $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a Mexican American criminals $z Los Angeles. $z Los Angeles. 650 4 $a JoÌvenes mexicano americanos $z Los Angeles, EE.UU. $x Indentidad eÌtnica 650 6 $a Gangs $z Los Angeles. $z Los Angeles. 650 6 $a Jeunesse ameÌricaine d'origine mexicaine $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $x IdentiteÌ ethnique. 830 0 $a Mexican American monographs ; $v no. 12. 941 $a 11 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525024624.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926053502.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180118050441.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160810045449.0 952 $l OQAX737 $d 20090806145001.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l O4AX446 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8FC861042AC911DEB7B0B404A8D7520A 994 $a 03 $b IOVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
