目前关于联合王国女孩和帮派的证据受到一系列方法问题的严重阻碍。其中第一个原因是与界定什么构成“帮派”或成为“帮派成员”有关的困难。第二组问题产生于这样一个事实，即这一领域的定性研究大多是由男性成年研究人员进行的，他们利用男性帮派成员和成年从业人员作为有关女性的信息来源。对女孩和年轻妇女的研究对这些研究的结果提出了质疑，研究表明，团体参与对女孩来说既有益又有害。
Current evidence on girls and gangs in the UK is considerably hampered by a set of methodological issues. The first of these stems from the difficulties associated with defining what constitutes a ‘gang’ or being a ‘gang member.’ A second set of issues arise from the fact that much of the qualitative research in this area is conducted by male adult researchers utilizing male gang members and adult practitioners as their source of information about females. The findings of such studies are challenged by research with girls and young women, which demonstrates that group involvement can be both rewarding and destructive for girls.
