Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that girls in all-female gangs tend to exhibit more violence than those in primarily male gangs. This may be due to the need to prove themselves in a male-dominated environment or to compensate for lack of male protection. Girls in mixed-gender gangs often have less pressure to conform to strict gender roles and may be less likely to engage in violent behavior.
