【評論內容】十多年來,社會學家馬丁·揚科夫斯基 (Martin Jankowski) 對波士頓、洛杉磯和紐約市的 37 個幫派進行了參與式觀察。與刻板印象11.(In opposition to)相反,揚科夫斯基沒有發現加入的動機是為了逃離破碎家庭,因為來自12. (intact)完整家庭的成員與來自破碎家庭的成員一樣多。Jankowski 也沒有發現他們加入是為了尋找一個替代性家庭,因為很多男孩說他們與家人很親密,也有男孩說他們與原生家庭疏離。 然而,男孩們加入幫派是為了獲得金錢、娛樂13.(recreation)(例如女孩和毒品)、匿名犯罪、尋求保護及幫助社區。最後一個原因似乎令人驚訝,但在某些社區,幫派會保護居民免受外來者的侵害。 男孩們認為幫派比父母從事沒有前途的工作來的14. (alternative)更好。 社區居民對幫派的看法很15.(ambivalent)矛盾。一方面,他們害怕暴力。另一方面,不少成年人曾是幫派成員,並表示,由於幫派成員是附近居民的子女,他們往往能提供比警方更好的保護。
