	Gangs \| Introduction
		An examination of gang life in 1940s and 1950s New York and 1960s and 1970s Los Angeles helps explain the development of late twentieth-century gangs—gangs that scholars argue are far more violent than their mid-century predecessors.

		Gang violence increased significantly in the 1980s, which is considered by experts to be the beginning of the contemporary gang era.
