Gang Involvement and Membership among Homeless and Runaway Youth.
Yoder, Kevin A.; Whitbeck, Les B.; Hoyt, Dan R.
Youth & Society, v34 n4 p441-67 Jun 2003
Assessed the extent of gang involvement among homeless and runaway youth, comparing gang members, gang-involved youth (not members), and non-gang youth on several dimensions. Interview data indicated that 15.4 percent of the youth were gang members and 32.2 percent were involved in gangs. These youth reported more family problems and school suspensions, ran away at a younger age, used more substances, and attempted suicide more than non-gang youth. (SM)
