Description

The longitudinal elements of the empirical data set combined with contemporary insights into the views and experiences of young people in Glasgow make the book’s focus unique. In Glasgow street gangs have existed for decades, with knife crime becoming a defining feature. Revisiting the young men interviewed in Deuchar’s original fieldwork over a decade later, this book ascertains how early exposure to gang culture and weapons acts as a path to wider types of offending. Reviewing case studies of violence reduction intervention strategies across the city, it provides a critical analysis of the underlying structural issues which remain unchallenged. Through empirical data, policy analysis and contemporary insights into the views and experiences of young people, this dynamic book explores the evolving nature of gangs, knife crime and street violence in Glasgow.
