PASSAGE # 1Reаd the pаssаge and answer the questiоns that fоllоw. “Street gangs” are a more formal variety of youth gang. They generally have leaders and a hierarchy of membership roles and responsibilities. They are named, and their members mark their identity with tattoos or “colors.” While many street gangs are involved in violence, not all are. An anthropologist who did research among nearly forty street gangs in New York, Los Angeles, and Boston learned much about why individuals join gangs, providing insights that contradict popular thinking on this subject. One common stereotype is that young boys join gangs because they are from homes with no male authority figure with whom they could identify. This study showed that equal numbers of gang members were from intact nuclear households as from those with an absent father. Another common perception is that the gang replaces a missing feeling of family as a motive. This study, again, showed that the same number of gang members reported having close family ties as those who did not. Those who were gang members shared a personality type called a “defiant individualist.” This type has five traits: intense competitiveness, mistrust or wariness, self-reliance, social isolation, and a strong survival instinct. Poverty, especially urban poverty, leads to the development of this type of personality. Many of these youths want to be economically successful, but social conditions channel their interests and skills into illegal pursuits rather than into legal pathways of achievement.
