Youth Gang Membership and Violent Victimization

Terrance J. Taylor

University of Missouri-St. Louis, taylortj{at}umsl.edu

Youth gang membership has been linked to a variety of social ailments: delinquency, stigma, and, more recently, violent victimization. This essay examines the research on youth gang membership and violent victimization. Three main questions are examined: (a) What is known about the linkages between gang membership and violent victimization? (b) What use does this knowledge provide for prevention and intervention efforts? (c) Where do we go from here? In other words, what do we not know about the gang membership—violent victimization link?

Key Words: youth gangs • violence • victimization
