Abstract
This article addresses the current state of female participation in street and prison gangs. Data come predominantly from interviews with observers (correctional officials) and from the authors' experiences in working with correctional, police, and school personnel. The methodology used is an opportunity sample. The article reviews the literature on gangs and addresses why early studies showed few females in gangs and then typically in defined peripheral roles.
