“…Their observation that the San Diego gangs were disorganized mirrors Sanders ' (1994) findings. Other studies have questioned the extent of youth gang organization in emerging gang cities such as Denver, CO (Esbensen, Huizinga, and Weiher, 1993); Cleveland and Columbus, OH (Huff, 1996(Huff, , 1998; Kansas City, MO (Fleisher, 1998);Milwaukee, WI (Hagedorn, 1988); Pittsburgh, PA (Klein, 1995); San Francisco, CA (Waldorf, 1993); Seattle, a sense of "legitimacy" to new groups, but the context of the new localities may produce adaptations that lead to divergence from the traditional patterns. Data from the 1996 National Youth Gang Survey show that nearly 9 in 10 (87 percent) of the localities reporting gang problems said that onset occurred during the 1986-96 period (National Youth Gang Center, 1999).…”

“…However, it is not as difficult for adolescents to resist gang pressures as is commonly believed. In most instances, adolescents can refuse to join gangs without reprisal (Decker and KempfLeonard, 1991;Fleisher, 1995;Huff, 1998;Maxson, Whitlock, and Klein, 1998).…”

“…Also, juveniles learn to engage in delinquent behavior as a result of their exposure to delinquent acts (Sutherland, 1937;Sutherland & Cressey, 1960). Gang members tend to become engaged in delinquent acts at much higher rates than nongang members (Eitle, Gunkel, & van Gundy, 2004;Gordon et al, 2004;Huff, 1998;Schneider, 2001). Further, interacting with and having proximity to delinquent peers has been identified as a risk factor for gang involvement (Amato & Cornell, 2003;Esbensen & Weerman, 2005;Kakar, 2005).…”

“…En d'autres mots, même une brève période de participation peut exposer un jeune à un risque élevé d'adoption de comportements délinquants (Esbensen et Huizinga, 1993 ;Thornberry et al, 2003). À ce sujet, un consensus émerge de la littérature scientifique voulant que les membres de gang soient beaucoup plus impliqués dans la délinquance que les autres jeunes contrevenants (Bjerregaard, 2010 ;Bjerregaard et Smith, 1993 ;Gatti, Tremblay, Vitaro et McDuff, 2005 ;Huff, 1996 ;Melde et Esbensen, 2013). Par exemple, Esbensen et Huizinga (1993) trouvent des taux de délinquance pour les membres de gang de deux à trois fois supérieurs à ceux d'adolescents nonmembres, mais provenant de quartiers similaires.…”

“…En ce qui a trait aux gangs de rue, bon nombre de chercheurs ont observé que les membres de gang sont plus susceptibles que les non-membres de consommer des drogues (Clark et Lohéac, 2007 ;Esbensen et Huizinga, 1993 ;Huff, 1996 ;Katz, Webb et Decker, 2005 ;Spergel, 1995 ;Thornberry et al, 2003). Dès le début des années 1990, des chercheurs ont constaté que l'usage de drogues chez les membres de gang est une activité fréquente et acceptée par le groupe (Esbensen et Huizinga, 1993 ;Fagan, 1989 ;Spergel, 1995).…”
