Disengaging From Gangs and Desistance From Crime (2013, unknown): “This study has important implications for life-course criminology, as gang membership follows patterns—onset, continuity, and change—comparable to parameters of the criminal career paradigm and gang prevalence and the agecrime curve peak around similar points in time (Klein & Maxson, 2006; Piquero e”
When Criminal Coping is Likely: An Extension of General Strain Theory (2013, background): “Recent research has confirmed the powerful impact of gang membership on individuals, over and above that of delinquent peers (e.g., Melde and Esbesen 2011; Thornberry et al. 2003).”
Substance Use and Delinquent Behavior Among Serious Adolescent Offenders (2010, background): “Continued gang involvement, which increases the risk for crime and substance use during late adolescence (Thornberry, 1998; Thornberry et al., 2003), is an extreme case of this dynamic.”

Why Do Criminals Obey the Law?

Going to extremes: Social identity and communication processes associated with gang membership (2014, background): “In the United States, youth are the most at risk for becoming involved with gangs (Maxson, Whitlock, & Klein, 1998; Thornberry et al., 2003).”
“I got your back”: an examination of the protective function of gang membership in adolescence (2009, background): “with the average length of gang membership lasting a year or less (Esbensen and Huizinga, 1993; Peterson, Taylor, and Esbensen, 2004; Thornberry et al., 2003), we created a series of dummy codes to differentiate gang members based on their duration of gang involvement (see table 1).”
