本文的目的是试图传播Hesketh（2018）的街头帮派研究，该研究确定了默西塞德郡地区年轻人对就业和犯罪的看法变得模糊。特别是，被剥夺公民权的年轻男性正转而参与街头贩毒团伙，以替代就业。设计/方法/方法本研究采用了一种混合设计，使用了Wengraf（2001）的传记叙事解释方法的改编版本作为数据收集的手段，Strauss和Corbin（1995）的基础理论方法作为分析的手段。夜间经济对A类毒品的需求如此之大，以至于靠近这些经济体的地区的街头帮派正在增加一种黑暗的商业层面，Hesketh（2018）将其称为“越轨创业”。这可以从代表成年有组织犯罪人物销售毒品（在利物浦街头被称为“嫁接”）到自营职业，作为唯一的交易越轨集团企业，有几个“嫁接”，罗宾逊，麦克莱恩和登斯利（2018）最近的研究指出，已经扩展到犯罪儿童剥削的编年史。这些发现摘自切斯特大学Robert F. Hesketh的一篇博士论文。
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to attempt to disseminate street gang research by Hesketh (2018) that has identified young people's perceptions between employment and criminality in areas of Merseyside becoming blurred. In particular, disenfranchised young males are turning to involvement with drug dealing street gangs as a substitute for employment. Design/methodology/approach The research involved the use of a hybrid design using an adapted version of Wengraf's (2001) biographic narrative interpretive method as the means for data collection with Strauss and Corbin's (1995) grounded theory approach as the means of analysis. Findings Such is the demand for Class A drugs in night-time economies that street gangs in areas close to such economies are adding a dark business-like dimension for which Hesketh (2018) has termed "Deviant Entrepreneurship". This can range from selling drugs on behalf of adult organised crime figures (known on the streets of Liverpool as "grafting") to self-employment as sole trading deviant group enterprises having several "grafts" that recent research by Robinson, McLean and Densley (2018) has noted, has extended into the annals of Criminal Child Exploitation.Originality/value The findings are taken from a PhD thesis by Robert F. Hesketh University of Chester.
