1960’s Gangs vs. Gangs Nowadays

Gang is a group of boys, regardless of whether you are a girl or not. Often gathered to create various kinds of acts of sabotage, not approved by law. The gangs were part of the world for a long time; they evolved over time. For example, the gang in the 1960s was different from the gang you saw today. Many gangs were made around the 1960s, but the main gangs during this period were as follows: Scorpion, Latin King, KKK, Bloody is the enemy of Scorpion, and 18th Street Gang.

Klein (1995), long gang researchers noted that by 1960 only 58 cities reported the existence of gangs. This number has increased to 101 in 10 years. Miller (1975) estimates that 28,500 to 81,500 gang members are involved in 760 to 2,700 gangs. In the 1980s gangs were reported in more cities and the number and size of the gangs increased accordingly. By 1980, as of 1982 when at least 179 different cities gathered, Miller estimated 97,940 gang members from 2,285 gangs in 286 different cities (Klein, 1995; Miller, 1982). Spergel and Curry (1990) estimates that there are 1,439 different gangs with 120,636 gang members in 1988.

View on juvenile delinquency and youth gang: State-wide system survey ____________________________________________________________________________ 1

Youth gang violence from the 1950s to the 1980s has a strange history. During this period, Miller (1992: 2) insists that the national view of the gang was dominated by the view of the media in New York City: "The flowering of the 1950s, the death of the 1960s, the resurrection of the early 1970s , And dormant in the late 1970s. "A survey of gang issues in his major US cities (Miller, 1975, 1992) prove that the second half of this media theory is wrong I will. According to Miller's study, gang violence was very common in the 1960s and 1970s. He believed that he has not changed since the 1950s; on the contrary media and public interest shifted from gang to Vietnam War, civil rights movement and subsequent riots.
