Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that female gang members have lower levels of self-esteem compared to their male counterparts. This may be due to the fact that females tend to join gangs as a way of seeking approval and belonging, and may feel lower self-worth if they do not receive this from their peers within the gang. While female gang members may also experience harsh family lives and lower academic success, these factors are not unique to female gang members and are also experienced by male gang members. In terms of violence, studies have shown that female gang members may actually be just as violent as males in certain contexts.
