    Description
    This course explores the history and development of some of the earliest and most well-known gangs in the prison setting and in the community. The types of gangs, history, criminal activities, and motivational theories for joining prison gangs are evaluated. Diversity characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, and socioeconomic class will be examined as they relate to gang membership (Formerly CORREC 103)
