The Social Construction of the American Street Gang
This chapter explores the social construction of street gangs in the United States by considering how such groups are institutionally or legally created, as well as how social meanings are ascribed to gangs as a stigmatized type of social group. Gang members build social meanings for their own groups that are often contextualized by the communities and social orders that structure their everyday lives. However, these nuanced self-definitions are …

I don’t bang: I’m just a Blood”: Situating gang identities in their proper place
In this article we offer a theoretical framework for conceptualizing the relationship between gang identification, place, and identity saliency. In our interviews with current and former street gang members, participants consistently described gangs as neighborhood-based entities, but also couched these local identities within much broader Crip or Blood affiliations. These amount to multiple, simultaneously claimed identities. However, we show th…
Stick Together and Come Back Home: Racial Sorting and the Spillover of Carceral Identity
This book focuses on the spillover of carceral identity into poor communities of color as a collateral consequence of mass incarceration. Analyzing fifteen months of ethnographic research in two juvenile justice institutions and interviews with seventy paroled adults, probation youth, and institutional staff, I argue that punitive facilities institutionalize and enforce a “carceral social order”—a system of social organization in which authoritie…
The Collateral Consequences of Prisonization: Racial Sorting, Carceral Identity, and Community Criminalization
In this paper, I employ analyses of the collateral consequences of mass incarceration to consider how high‐incarceration communities are impacted by socializing processes instilled in the prison. Collateral consequences researchers have found that neighborhoods with high rates of incarceration suffer cumulative disadvantage, intensified policing, and the criminalization of residents. But overlooked in this literature is how socializing processes …
I Would Be a Bulldog: Tracing the Spillover of Carceral Identity
The socializing power of the prison is routinely discussed as a prisonization process in which inmates learn to conform to life in the correctional facility. However, the impact that identities socialized in the prison may have outside of the institution itself remains an under-researched aspect of mass incarceration’s collateral consequences. In this article I use ethnographic data collected over fifteen months in two juvenile justice facilities…

Working between two worlds: Gang intervention and street liminality
This article analyzes ethnographic data collected from a gang intervention program to examine how former gang members use their experience to influence youth still involved in gang life. I argue that the interventionists possess a 'street liminality' that is constructed by their experiences living along the margins of both the street and conventional society. This street liminality enables the interventionists to exploit the connections they have…
