Abstract

This panel will share empirical research into the changing nature of gang culture and the links with drug distribution and organized forms of criminality in recent years. Drawing on a range of new research insights emerging from recent and upcoming published books by the authors and coinciding with the 2020 release of the special edition of the journal ‘Youth Justice’ on gangs and violence in the UK as well as the launch of the National Centre for Gang Research at University of West London, the panel will open up new discussion on issues relating to the contemporary influence of social media, drug supply networks, weapon-carrying and violence.
