Gangs, Weapons and Violence -- 2.The Fists and the Fury: My Life in a Sea of Gangs -- -- Part II: On Gang Talk and Gang-Talkers -- 3. Deciphering Gang Talk -- Defining gang talk -- Reading gang talk as a language game -- The seduction of gang talk -- Unforeseen consequences -- Conclusion -- 4. Moral Panic and Industry -- Emergence -- From reality to gang-talking fantasy: reflections on the -- media inventory The journey back: reshaping reality in the image of gang fantasies -- The industrial logic of 'gang' production -- Conclusion -- -- Part III: Getting Real about Violence -- 5. Arborealism and Rhizomatics: A Treatise -- The sedentary and the nomadic -- Arborealism -- Rhizomatics -- Back to the street -- Reading the street as rhizome -- Rhizomatic organisation -- Conclusion -- 6. Back to the Street -- Beyond the gang -- Street imperatives -- Instability, trauma and street life -- Conclusion -- 7.

Challenging the widely held conjecture that gangs represent 'the new face of youth crime' this book repudiates claims which situate the gang at the heart of sexual violence, mass shooting and control of the illegal drugs trade. It pushes the epistemological, methodological and ontological borders of cultural criminology in order to understand violent street worlds and the informal organisations that operate within them. In part polemic, in part theoretical treatise, the book deciphers the gang talk now mediated by a developing industry of gang-talkers and explores how street realities have become lost in a collectively induced fantasy where gangs are regarded as public enemy number one. The book makes a case for returning to the analysis of street culture and the imperatives that orientate patterns of social action within it. It concludes by examining how better we might understand the violence of the street and the organisations that inhabit it.
