Designed to introduce a new way of looking at the organization of criminal street gangs, this book has been written with the objective of helping law enforcers and policy makers to design more effective policies and criminal laws in the effort to curb drug gang activities. The book suggests ways in which economic modelling can be sued to understand criminal street gangs as profitable organizations and how this can shed light on approaches to collective action. The author integrates formal economic modelling with criminal law and contemporary information about street gang organization in some of the major American cities.
