Document Summary
Dennis rodgers -living in the shadow of death: gangs, violence and social order in nicaragua 1996-2002. New dynamics seen to be linked to regional crisis of governance -->liberalization, weak democratization and intensifying globalization undermined states and their ability to command monopoly over use of violence. Epitomizes declining political authority and signals rising social chaos. Case study of urban youth gang in nicaragua or pandilla in capital, Account of barrio luis fanor hernandez pandilla. Longest running dictatorship in la, somoza dynasty. Streets peaceful during years of conflict, since peace streets have become scenes of war. Gangs most likely perpetrators of crime by over 50 percent, and over half of those arrested in 97 were young males (corresponds to typical pandillero age, obvs not all gang members though) Tend not to dev in richer neighborhoods: socio-econ opportunities available to youth also affect gang formation.
