Chapters 3 and 4 from the book Gangs by Bill Sanders focus on the relationship between migration/immigration and gangs. In doing so, it outlines the ways in which discrimination contributes to the formation of gangs in marginalized communities. This week also outlines the unique backgrounds and experiences of female in or around gangs. Specifically, it discusses the gendered dynamics, relationships, and characteristics that influence female's involvement in gangs. With this in mind, please offer a response/post to the following prompts: What were community reactions when the Black community sought equal rights across major cities? How was this response linked to the formation of gangs? How does the social, legal, economic, and political discrimination of populations influence the formation of gangs? Compare and contrast the involvement and effects of gang membership for males and females.
