      Theory of Gang Subculture for Juveniles


The theory of gang subculture, also known as the subcultural theory of delinquency, provides insights into the
formation and behavior of juvenile gangs. This theory explores how certain groups or subcultures develop their
own norms, values, and behaviors that may deviate from the dominant culture. Here is an overview of the
theory of gang subculture as it applies to juveniles:
Subcultural Norms and Values: The theory suggests that juvenile gangs form their own subcultures with
distinct norms and values that differ from those of mainstream society. These subcultural norms often glorify
delinquent behavior, toughness, loyalty to the gang, and a sense of belonging. Gang members learn and
internalize these norms through socialization within the gang.
Collective Identity: Gang subcultures provide a sense of belonging and identity for juveniles who may feel
marginalized or excluded from mainstream society. Being a part of a gang offers a support system, camaraderie,
and a source of self-esteem and status. Gang members may develop a strong attachment to their gang and
prioritize loyalty to the group above other social bonds.
Social Learning: The theory highlights the role of social learning within gang subcultures. Juveniles learn
delinquent behaviors, codes of conduct, and values through interaction with more experienced gang members.
They observe, imitate, and are reinforced by the behavior and attitudes of their peers within the gang,
perpetuating the cycle of deviance.
Opposition to Mainstream Values: Gang subcultures often emerge as a response to societal inequalities, social
disorganization, and a lack of legitimate opportunities for disadvantaged youths. These subcultures may reject
mainstream values and instead embrace alternative norms and behaviors that offer a sense of empowerment
and status within their immediate social environment.
Street Code: Gang subcultures often have their own set of rules and a "street code" that governs behavior and
resolves conflicts within the gang. This code may emphasize loyalty, respect, retaliation, and the use of
violence as a means of asserting dominance and protecting the gang's reputation.
Cultural Transmission: Gang subcultures perpetuate themselves through cultural transmission, as older gang
members pass down their knowledge, values, and traditions to younger members. This intergenerational
transmission reinforces the subcultural norms and maintains the cohesion of the gang over time.
2
Implications for Intervention: Understanding the theory of gang subculture has implications for interventions
aimed at addressing juvenile gang involvement. Intervention strategies should focus on providing alternative
positive opportunities, such as education, employment, and mentorship, to steer juveniles away from the
influence of gang subcultures. Programs that promote prosocial values, skill-building, and community support
can help disengage juveniles from gang activities and provide them with a sense of belonging and purpose in
a more constructive manner.
It is important to note that the theory of gang subculture does not justify or condone criminal behavior. Rather,
it offers insights into the social dynamics and factors that contribute to juvenile gang involvement. By
understanding the formation and influences of gang subcultures, interventions can address the underlying
issues that lead juveniles to join gangs and provide opportunities for positive socialization and development.
