- A detailed global overview of gang culture, covering, amongst others, Glasgow, Chicago, Hong Kong, and Shanghai
- A chapter on researching gangs which covers quantitative and qualitative methods
- Extra chapter features such as key terms, chapter overviews, study questions and further reading suggestions.

This is a comprehensive and engaging examination of gangs and crime. Drawing on a range of critical perspectives, this book enhances the existing gang literature by exploring the development of gangs in the UK context. It does a great job of consolidating existing literature and theoretical perspectives in a critical and well written manner, which is both easy to access and compelling. This is a ′must add′ textbook for criminology and youth justice undergraduate reading lists.
