This new Oxford Reference title of over 250 entries gives a concise overview of key terms used in the study and understanding of gangs - the first dictionary of its kind to focus on gang vernacular. Broad in scope, it covers: colloquialisms used in gang culture to describe certain behaviours common among gang members, such as caught slipping and jumped in; sociological and criminological terms in relation to gangs, such as social disorganization and social learning; as well as general academic concepts which apply to gangs, including Critical Race Theory, acculturation, moral panic, and identity.
