-a gang is a group of ‘friends’ or ‘family’ with ‘identifiable leadership’ and ‘internal organization’, ‘identifying with’ or ‘claiming control over’ territory in a ‘community’, and engaging either ‘individually’ or ‘collectively’ in ‘illegal’ or ‘violent’ behavior-
.
(some ‘criminal gang members’ “jumped in” (by going through the ‘process of initiation’) or have to prove their ‘loyalty’ + ‘right’ to belong to a group by committing ‘certain acts’, usually a ‘theft’ or ‘violent’ act)
.
(a member of a ‘gang’ may be called a ‘gangster’ or a ‘thug’)
