Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a unique ethnographic study of a racially exclusive Malay Muslim gang, Omega, which has its roots in Singapore's prisons and controls much of the illicit drug trade in the state. Similar to indigenous peoples elsewhere, Singapore Malays are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system and can respond to structural marginalization and colonization through gang involvement. In demonstrating that gang membership can be an adaptive strategy for minority groups, this book promotes a more inclusive and restorative justice model for people with repeat convictions.
