Taking the group as the core unit of analysis, it traces the evolution of gangs from loosely affiliated youth collectives engaged in local conflict to complex, network-oriented criminal organizations operating across national and transnational boundaries. It identifies three key facilitators of modern gang networks: group processes, outgroup embeddedness, and interaction space.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe volume also examines how fragile states, digital technologies, and global mobility contribute to the expansion of gang influence.
