Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that girls in gangs typically come from troubled family backgrounds, which may include experiences of abuse and neglect at home. While there may be exceptions, it is not accurate to say that these girls are likely to come from Black middle-class backgrounds, as socioeconomic status does not appear to be a significant factor in gang involvement for girls. Girls in gangs may be involved in male-dominated gangs or form their own female groups, but it is not accurate to say that they are most often independent of male gangs. Violent behavior may be present among some girls in gangs, but it is not accurate to broadly state that they are every bit as violent as their male counterparts, as there may be variations in levels and types of violence.
