基于对21名现任和前任女性帮派成员的采访，这项研究重点关注了墨西哥裔美国帮派女孩在加州洛杉矶圣费尔南多山谷的墨西哥裔美国帮派环境中活动的情况。对帮派成员所要求的暴力是在帮派亚文化的背景下描述的。从帮派成员本人的角度描述帮派结构、活动、对该群体的依恋和该群体规范的内化、加入该群体的原因、作为动力和支持来源的该群体以及为维持群体凝聚力而采取的制裁措施，以提供对她的世界的内部了解。
Based on interviews with twenty-one present and former female gang members, this study focuses on Mexican-American gang girls as they operate within the Mexican-American gang milieu in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California. The violence demanded of gang members is described within the context of the gang subculture. Gang structure, activities, attachment to the group and internalization of the norms of that group, reasons for joining the gang, the group as a source of motivation and support, and sanctions applied to maintain group cohesion are described from the point of view of the gang member herself, providing an internal understanding of her world.
