The book outlines the historical, etiological, behavioral, social, demographic, and environmental characteristics of these prevalent subcultures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. LaTanya Skiffer's\u003c\/strong\u003e experience with gangs is both personal and professional. Both of her brothers were gang members as adolescents. This decision eventually led one of them to spend approximately 15 years of his life behind bars, with the other going in and out of the criminal justice system. This experience led her to focus her education and professional development on criminology and sociology, as well as on the subcultures of gangs and adolescents. Professor Skiffer is currently an assistant professor of criminology at California State University, Dominguez Hills. Dr. Skiffer's research interests include the gang and adolescent subcultures and black female offenders, in addition to race, class, and gender inequality. She has also served on Mayor Villaraigosa's Gang Reduction and Youth Development grant proposal review team and serves as a consultant for the Long Beach Boys \u0026amp; Girls Clubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4562061\"\u003eLa Tanya Skiffer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cognella Academic Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781516506972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1516506979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cognella Academic Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44587997364461,"sku":"9781516506972","price":305.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_678f7a1a-ecd5-4e2d-9fc3-7f1a4c072067.jpg?v=1702213534","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/gangs-and-adolescent-subcultures-9781516506972","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
