Book Synopsis The Gang by : Frederic Milton Thrasher
Download or read book The Gang written by Frederic Milton Thrasher and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While gangs and gang culture have been around for countless centuries, The Gang is one of the first academic studies of the phenomenon. Originally published in 1927, Frederic Milton Thrasher’s magnum opus offers a profound and careful analysis of hundreds of gangs in Chicago in the early part of the twentieth century. With rich prose and an eye for detail, Thrasher looked specifically at the way in which urban geography shaped gangs, and posited the thesis that neighborhoods in flux were more likely to produce gangs. Moreover, he traced gang culture back to feudal and medieval power systems and linked tribal ethos in other societies to codes of honor and glory found in American gangs. Thrasher approaches his subject with empathy and insightfulness, and creates a multifaceted and textured portrait that still has much to offer to readers today. With handsome images that evoke the era, this unabridged edition of The Gang not only explores an important moment in the history of Chicago, but also is itself a landmark in the history of sociology and subcultural theory.

Download or read book Brooklyn Gang written by Bruce Davidson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1959, Bruce Davidson read about the teenage gangs of New York City. Connecting with a social worker to make initial contact with a gang in Brooklyn called The Jokers, Davidson became a daily observer and photographer of this alienated youth culture. The Fifties are often considered passive and pale by our standards of urban reality, but Davidson's photographs prove otherwise. Nearly 70 sheet-fed gravure plates show images of tough people, tough lives, tough lovers, all trying to be cool. They are followed by a short recollection by the photographer and a lengthier interview with Bengie, a surviving gang member, who is now a drug counselor."--Magnum Photo.
Download or read book Gangs written by Scott Cummings and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an examination of contemporary gangs in American cities. Gangs have proliferated over the past ten years and pose a new set of challenges to public officials, law enforcement agencies, and urban educators. Most major cities are now confronted with serious problems derived from gang violence, drug traffic, and disruption of the public educational system. In the face of deindustrialization and deepening recession, many minority youngsters view gangs as attractive alternatives to a futile search for employment in a deteriorating urban economy. Perhaps most significant, gangs are now beginning to emerge in small and medium-sized cities. Some of the nation's leading scientists and scholars have been brought together in this book to examine the contemporary contours of America's gang problem, including Daniel J. Monti, Joan Moore, Scott Cummings, Howard Pinderhughes, Diego Vigil, Ray Hutchison, Felix Padilla, Jerome H. Skolnick, Pat Jackson, and Robert A. Destro. New material dealing with wilding gangs, migration and drug trafficking, and public educational disruption appear in this volume. Other topics covered include how gangs are organized, what social function they serve, their relation to conventional society, and the social and psychological factors that contribute to their rise. The relationship of the contemporary gang problem to past research is explored, and a rich variety of case histories and comparative analysis is presented. The book also includes a section on public policy.

Book excerpt: The first rule of the workplace: don’t sleep with your boss. That’s doubly true if your boss is Vincenzo San Giovanni, billionaire and prince of one of the richest and most feared mafia families in the city. Except I wasn’t exactly aware of who my boss was, specifically, until I wound up with an FBI agent on my tail and then, through a series of unfortunate events, in my boss’s bed. A one-night-stand. A mistake. That’s what I told myself. Vincenzo is prickly, and stubborn, a demanding boss who requires round-the-clock availability and perfection. He’s also tall, dark, and so incredibly handsome—but that doesn’t matter. It can’t matter. Vincenzo isn’t the kind of man who dates his secretary—and I’m not the kind of girl who can get involved with a mafia boss. But as circumstances throw us together, it’s harder and harder to ignore what we both want. What we both need. Vincenzo might be my boss, but I can’t stop myself from wishing he could be so much more. Our relationship started out as business—but soon enough, all I want is the pleasure. Ruthless Billionaire is a complete Stand Alone and ready to be devoured! But if you're interested in binge reading the complete series the reading order is as follows: Ruthless Billionaire Playboy Billionaire Model Billionaire Code Billionaire Heiress Billionaire

Download or read book Crips written by Donald Bakeer and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOUTH CENTRAL L.A. CRIPS is the story of why nearly 10,000 people were destined to get killed during the 1970's, 80's and 90's in a social explosion that began in L.A. then spread across this nation and, indeed, the world. This is the story of O.G. Jimmie Black (aka O.G. Bobby Johnson in the movie), who evolves during those explosive years in South Central L.A. from the Watts Rebellion (1965) to just prior to the days that sparked the L.A. Uprising (1992). It is the story of a father and son's triumph in the midst of America's most deadly gang war. "Bakeer's story moves swiftly, and his writing is deft", Gayle Anthony, LA. Sentinel. "I loved the book and the movie." Tupac Shakur. "The novel CRIPS by Don Bakeer corrects your assumptions about the gangs." LA Weekly. Many of the characters personify the collective spirit of the Original Crips/ O.G.'s and specifically that of Raymond Washington, the founder. But, even more than that, the characters represent the rebellious spirits of Bunchy Carter, Stanley (Tookie) Williams, Ice T, Ice Cube, Tupac, Nipsey Hussle, and Sanyinka Shakur (aka Monster Cody), etc. Bakeer collaborated with Oliver Stone, Steve Anderson, and Warner Bros. to develop the classic fi lm, SOUTH CENTRAL (1992) from this book, yet, the movie only tells a small portion of the true story. Hajji* Donald Bakeer, 77 and father to 9, has been a poet in Los Angeles for over 50 years and taught secondary school English in South Central L.A. for 30 years. He is, now, retired from teaching and lives in Inglewood, CA. He made the pilgrimage to Mecca in 1997. His books: South Central L.A. CRIPS - The Story of the L.A. Street Gang ($8.99); PTSD! Who, Me?

Download or read book Born to Kill written by T. J. English and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “riveting” true story of the Vietnamese gang that terrorized Manhattan’s Chinatown, from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Westies (Newsday). They are children of the Vietnam War. Born and raised in the wasteland left by American bombs and napalm, these young men know a particular brand of cruelty—which they are about to export to the United States. When the Vietnamese gangs come to Chinatown, they adopt a name remembered from GI’s helmets: “Born to Kill.” And kill they do, in a frenzy of violence that shocks even the old-school Chinese gangsters who once ran Canal Street. Killing brings them turf, money, and power, but also draws the government’s eye. Even as Born to Kill reaches its height, it is marked for destruction. This story is told from the perspective of Tinh Ngo, a young gang member who eventually grows disenchanted with murder and death. When he decides to inform on his brothers to the police, he enters a shadow world far more dangerous than any gangland.

But the already dirty campaign is about to get downright filthy—with one candidate getting buried six feet under… With her strong opinions and knack for getting into trouble, Reagan is not an ideal volunteer for her mother’s alderman campaign.

Reagan is intent on finding Kip’s killer and clearing her mother’s good name, but she soon finds herself on the bad side of Kip’s enemies-turned-suspects.
