Youth gangs
english

Youth gangs typically consist of young people who self-identify as a group (i.e. having a group name); are generally perceived by others as a distinct group; and are involved in a significant number of delinquent incidents that produce consistent responses from the community and/or law enforcement agencies (National Crime Prevention Centre, 2007).
