‘Going viral’ and ‘Going country’: the expressive and instrumental activities of street gangs on social media (2017, background): “…gangs both online and in person; from whom we learnt we must be careful not to reduce gang-involved youth to online offenders, thus denying the victim-offender overlap in gang life (Pyrooz, Moule, and Decker 2014) and the inherent risks of victimisation people in gang neighbourhoods face.”
“Harm as Harm” (2016, background): “…in a number of investigations, youth gang members disproportionately are involved in both victimization and perpetration against others (Krohn & Thornberry, 2008; Pyrooz et al., 2014) and the likelihood of victimization increases as a function of youths’ tenure in the gang (Taylor et al., 2007).”
